Tie Rod Sleeve / Brace -- Aftermarket Upgrade Replacement List

[21BroncoFlyer]

So since the tie rod seems to be a weak point, I was looking into options to reinforce them down the road. I hadn’t seen a list yet so figured I would throw one together of the available options. I’m sure I’ve missed some, but this is what I’ve found so far.

Full disclosure: I don’t really have a frame of reference for the pros and cons to any of these as I’m pretty new to all this. Feel free to add to the list with other options and discuss these options as there’s a wide price delta between the cheaper options and the more expensive ones.

Thanks for the list

 

[HorizonHunter]

Great resource, thanks! Now hopefully some of the pros can chime in on pros and cons.

 

[‘21OBX]

Pros.
Pros for kid choas(I have) and bronc buster is no disassembly required to install.
keeps your tie rods from bending which is when they break.

cons:
The sleeve type you have to remove the outer tie rod to install.

It’s possible to transfer the forces to the steering rack and break something there.

 

[Mango&Moose]

Jeez, that list got spendy fast.

Hopefully I can simply buy some tie rods and swap if they break**












**when available without being an***y dry ra**d.

Maybe for quick ref...and historic sake...you should add the prices to you list. With covid/bronco tax...it would be interesting for future lookup what they are presently.

Level up $70
Jks $55
RC $45
Kid $250
BroncoBuster $400

I'm running Bronco Buster braces and steering rack bushing. Very simple install.

JKS Sleeves here, no issues.
However, the Kid chaos splint looks to not be a bad idea for the price either.

I have the RPG full tie rod kit…single piece billet…also felt the overall steering tighten up

Nope heims have less angle available than the factory OEM setup.

Would love to see final result and breakdown of cost. Thanks for sharing this! Been wanting to upgrade our Wildtrak with this.
