Steering woes

Aug 28, 2007 9 Replies

Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and behold my Currie steering is also bent. Tie rod is bent out (away from the axle), drag link is bent, like you would expect, at the joint where the tie rod attaches. Now what? Who's is better than Currie?

Hi Jennifer, Real Jeeps have leaf springs that act as skid plates. If you take a rock in the center because that's the only way over, than that's the cost of doing business. Replace what you have:

You seem to have them beat hands down or should that be wheels down.... ;-)

If you think it got bent due to hitting something you might consider the Rocky Road high steer setup to get the rods up and out of the way.

If it got bent just due to steering force, then I don't know. Convert to manual steering? :)

You wheel, you break, you fix....no one has steering linkage that you can't break somehow, someday. You had a pretty heavy duty setup, why not go back to it? You're having fun, right? :)

because a new one is like $5-700 bucks.

was NOT a hit from the front. I went up to take pics and confirm the damages today.

Make it idiot proof and they build a better idiot....

How much is your deductible? :) :)
