Tie Rod Flip Inserts

Well I was told to post here by the mods instead of the For Sale forum... so here's the post

Machined out of 1018 mild steel, $10 ea, $1 ea for shipping.

What you do is drill out your driver's knuckle to 3/4" and put the insert in place. You can run a few tack welds on it to hold it in place, but you don't have to.

What this does is allows you to put your tie rod on top of the driver's knuckle. Higher up... less chance of slamming it on rocks. My brother is the one that makes these, he is a machinist.

so, these only go on the drivers side? why not the pass side too and get a full high steer?

You could do it, but you would need a custom tie rod or a right hand drive drag link.

In fact, if you'll notice, that's a passenger side knuckle in the pic above.

Check out this link www.jeepfan.com/review_retieflip.htm These are the ones I used from Rock Equipment and I love them.

Goferit has those on their site as well but not that cheap. And theirs go on both side. It doesn't matter whether it is on top or bottom cause it still threads the same way.

More expensive cause of the supplied tapered reamer. It's a standard 10 degree reamer. I think the inserts are about $10 each, they supply 3 with the kit.
