Factory tie rods on the 2005-2023 Tacoma are a known casualty of bigger tyres, lifts and hard trail use - they bend and wear where the steering needs them rigid. This kit replaces them with oversized, pre-assembled inner and outer tie rod assemblies in CNC-machined SAE 1045 forged steel with SAE 4140 chromoly ball studs, for both sides of the truck, suitable up to a 3 inch lift. It is a genuine Apex Chassis part, imported to the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifted Tacomas (up to 3 inches) running larger tyres that load the factory rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road and overland builds that cannot afford a bent tie rod mid-trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrucks with worn steering feel, play or uneven tyre wear from tired linkages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners wanting a pre-assembled, no-drilling bolt-in upgrade across all Tacoma trims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Upgrade The Tie Rods\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tie rods turn steering input into wheel direction, and they take the hit when a rut grabs a front wheel. Compared with replacing bent factory rods like-for-like, this kit's oversized forged construction, E-coat corrosion protection and CR rubber boots are built for repeat abuse - and the assemblies arrive pre-set for both sides, so installation is straightforward with no drilling or modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Apex Chassis (USA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Heavy-duty tie rod kit (inner and outer, both sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: KIT400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: Pre-assembled inner and outer tie rod assemblies, driver and passenger side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: Toyota Tacoma (2005-2023) 2WD\/4WD - Base, Pre-Runner, Limited, SR5, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, TRD Sport, Trail (2.4 IL4 and 4.0 V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift Compatibility: Up to 3 inch lift; limit straps required beyond 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: SAE 1045 forged steel housings, SAE 4140 chromoly studs, E-coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your Tacoma's year and trim against the application list before ordering - fitment shown is manufacturer reference.
