Factory linkages flex and work loose as tyre size and trail speed rise - the well-known route to death wobble and vague, nervous steering. This kit answers it with 2.5-ton rated polished aluminium rods, integrated adjusting sleeves, forged steel ends and the ProLock locking system that stops tie rod rotation once set. It fits the stock Dana 30\/44 axles with the standard under-knuckle mount. It is a genuine Apex Chassis part, imported to the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJL and JT builds on larger tyres that have outgrown the factory linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners chasing out death wobble with properly oversized steering components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShow-and-go builds where the polished aluminium look matters as much as the strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrail rigs needing steering that stays adjusted through repeated hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe ProLock Difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost steering kits rely on jam nuts alone to hold adjustment. ProLock uses a machined keyway cut into the tie rod end threads with a matching keyway washer, plus proprietary jam nuts carrying set screws - so once your alignment is set, the linkage cannot rotate itself loose. On a Jeep that sees rocks, ruts and full-lock abuse, that is the difference between an alignment that lasts a day and one that lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Apex Chassis (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Complete steering kit (tie rod and drag link)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: KIT125D44NF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRating: 2.5-ton components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: Polished aluminium tie rod and drag link with integrated adjusting sleeves, forged steel ends, ProLock washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxle Fitment: Stock Dana 30\/44, under-knuckle (standard) mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-2026) 4WD; Jeep Gladiator JT (2019-2026) 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your Jeep is a JL or JT on stock Dana 30\/44 axles with under-knuckle steering before ordering - fitment shown is manufacturer reference.
