FABTECH COMPLETE TIE ROD ASSEMBLIES.
INNERS AND OUTERS - LEFT AND RIGHT!!
Lift kits, Oversized wheels and tires, Off Roading, Drag Racing, Sled Pulling in 4 wheel drive and just everyday driving can apply extreme demands on the stock GM steering components. The factory tie rod assemblies on the Chevy / GMC - 1500HD/2500HD/3500 and the Hummer H2 are not sufficient for the job they were asked to do. These components were way under designed from the factory and are a real danger when extra loads are put on them.
From the start these undersized components are the weak link in the front end of your truck and need to be addressed for a good reliable solid steering system. Since the factory tie rod ends are not what they should be, they start wearing prematurely which will result in sloppy steering at first, then eventually the worst case, complete failure and breakage. Even the tie rod shaft themselves are very thin and weak, we have seen them bend from just mild off roading. Unfortunately the original units were just way under designed from the get go. So even good quality aftermarket replacement steering parts are better, but the original OEM units are just too small to take the extra demand put on them. It is the small size of the joint and the main shaft that is the culprit not just the quality of the part.....
These Fabtech Super Tie Rod Assemblies are almost three times the size of the original GM Units. Provide better steering control and increased safety. Fits: Part # FAB-FTS71002

When you upgrade to the Fabtech tie rod assemblies, there for sure becomes a clearance issue with the sway bar. The inner tie rod joints on these heavy duty
tie rods are much bigger than the factory units and will hit the sway bar. When
the truck is raised / leveled the angle of the lower control arm increases, this
also pulls the sway bar down as they are attached to each other by the sway bar
end link. This combination of
bigger inner tie rod joints and increased lower control arm angle will cause the
tie rods to hit the sway bar. We have designed a solution to this problem, our SSM
1" longer Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Link Kit!! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! - We have just released our NEW IMPROVED Heavy Duty 1" Longer Sway Bar End Link Kit. This kit now features a 3/4" powder coated solid steel hex bar center section. Larger, correct size, Energy Suspension HYPER-FLEX ™ Performance Polyurethane sway bar end link bushings. These larger bushings are the correct size for the HD sway bar, they are not a universal one size fits all bushing. Bushings are made from a firm polyurethane and provide more overall mass and surface area than a smaller universal bushing. Then we top them off with Grade 8 zinc plated hardware. This unit is far superior than the factory part and will work on a leveled or bone stock truck. End Link Set does both sides. MADE IN THE USA!!! Please let us know if you need one of these kits. Add $45.00 for the HD Sway Bar End Link Kit, does both sides. No additional shipping.
This kit will work on bone stock trucks, stock trucks with leveling kits, or trucks with lift kits that require use of the original length GM sway bar end links. For lifted trucks with super long aftermarket end links, we have a different style unit available for those trucks as well.
