Fits: 2001 thru 2010 Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM Duramax Diesel
The PPE Forged XR Tie Rods are not only the ultimate upgrade for extreme-duty tasks such as intense off-roading and sled pulling, but also perfect replacement for the stock tie rods where the plastic ball joint seats are worn out.
These tie rods feature giant 32mm-diameter outer tie rod ball stud and extra-wide ball joint neck, providing superior strength of the connection and stability, while maintaining the stock articulation angle. The 3/4’’ inner tie rod threaded shaft ensures secured connection between the inner and the outer and is surrounded by the 1.6-inch forged outer, preventing bending/deforming.
A zerk fitting is conveniently integrated to the outer tie rod cap. Each tie rod comes pre-greased and does not require greasing for installation. The outer tie rod can be trimmed off by up to 1 inch to achieve a shorter overall length for customized steering setups.
Features:
- Extreme-duty forged steel
- Siliconized rubber boots
- Preserves factory articulation angle
- 35% larger, 32-mm ball stud
- 1.6’’ forged outer tie rod body – 50% larger than stock
- 3/4’’ inner tie rod threaded shaft
- Integrated grease fitting
Note:
- PPE Tie Rods are engineered to fit GM stock steering components. Some aftermarket steering manufacturers have changed the placement of the tie rod mounting perch on the front spindle, which then requires a shorter tie rod. The PPE Tie Rod outers are fully-threaded internally and may be trimmed to accommodate the relocated aftermarket perch location. An experienced installer should measure to determine the appropriate trim length.
