Proper geometry with rebuildable joints that you can easily tighten up in minutes as they get loose! Yes this kit costs more, but that is due to USA made with superior materials and joints. This is literally the best and the last steering kit you will ever need to buy.

By keeping the original geometry this means you don’t get the normal aftermarket dead spot in steering wheel and tie rod flop. Yes, we mention this a lot and for a good reason. Our passenger Tie rod is gated like the original joint. This is huge to keep a good feeling in steering wheel and not have to use rubber rock crawler style wobble stoppers like other aftermarket companies do.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint starts to get slack in it?
