Synergy Heavy Duty Tie Rod for 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 8568-21
- Part: Other
- Manufacturer: Synergy MFG
The Synergy Heavy Duty Tie Rod is a larger and stronger, bolt-on replacement for the stock tie rod. No drilling or reaming of the knuckles is required. It uses the updated factory T-style steering design to eliminate toe-change caused by Y-style steering. Using the factory T-style steering design also results in no induced bump steer inherent with most aftermarket "cross over" steering kits. The Tie Rod also uses a single plane low misalignment Tie Rod End to prevent unwanted Tie Rod "flop" which results in a dead spot in the steering when changing direction. The Tie Rod is designed to be used with the Synergy heavy duty Drag Link (8567-11), the Synergy steering stabilizer clamp (8568-10), and the Synergy tuned IFP steering stabilizer (6401-01). This tie rod can also work with stock or aftermarket steering stabilizers using a 1/2" mounting bolt with the Synergy clamp.
Benefits:
The tie rod is bent similar to the factory bar to clear sway bar mounts
Provides 2" of additional ground clearance from stock tie rod
