TIE ROD KIT

The strength limitations of the Bronco's factory steering tie rods has been well documented, especially by Bronco owners who venture into the big rocks with big tires. These ICON XD Forged Tie Rods remedy this with better materials and beefier dimensions than the stock units. The inner tie rod and ball stud is CNC machined from 4140 chromoly. The adjustment threads, where we've seen most of the failures happen on stock tie rods, are18mm on the XD Forged Tie Rods versus 14mm on stock Bronco tie rods. The outer tie rod is forged steel and has the same bend as the stock tie rods for fitting all of the Bronco's factory wheel diameters and offsets, along with just about any aftermarket wheel. The tie rod end is a beefier, metal on metal joint that is greaseable for extended service life and has the same range of operating angle as the stock tie rod ends. For the most hardcore of off-roaders, the ICON XD Forged Tie Rod kit is recommended as part of a comprehensive steering system upgrade strategy.

Note for Australian and European Markets

Unless otherwise stated, this product may be engineered for use in Left-Hand Drive vehicles. Steering components, pedals, shifters, linkages, wing mirrors, instrument clusters, panhard rods/traction bars, drag links, brake boosters, brake or clutch lines, accelerator cables, heater cores, some master cylinders and adjacent parts can vary between LHD and RHD configurations. In some models compenents such as windscreen wiper arms, motors and linkages could differ in their size and orientation. Items such as floor mats & dash mats may have differences in their structure around the front row (or padding in different locations). In many cases items are identical depending on the design of the vehicle and part, but may have differing mounts, lengths or bolt patterns. Carefully review the product images and details to ensure suitability for your vehicle, or contact StreetFX support if you are unsure. Returns are not accepted for special order products.

Note for Pistons, Rings, Rotors, Rods and engine internals

Unless otherwise specified, some brands supply brake rotors, pistons, strut mounts, rods and rings separately. In some cases, titles may indicate plural, or 'set' - eg the term “ring set” often refers to the rings for a single piston only. If you’re unsure about what’s included with this product, please contact our team for clarification.
