Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the MetalCloak "Anti-Flop" feature? MetalCloak engineers their 1-ton rod ends with a built-in limited front-to-back range of movement. This completely eliminates the "flopping" motion common with aftermarket offset tie rods, resulting in tighter, more responsive steering.

Does this tie rod come with a steering stabilizer bracket? Yes, this kit includes a standard 3/16" steel steering stabilizer mount that relocates the stabilizer higher up on the axle to protect it from rocks and trail damage.

Can I adjust the MetalCloak tie rod while it's on my Jeep? Yes! The adjustable design allows you to easily make fine-tuned alignment adjustments while the tie rod is fully installed on your Wrangler or Gladiator.
