Description:
Kryptonite Death Grip Outer Tie Rod Ends are engineered to provide a substantial strength upgrade over factory components without changing factory steering geometry. Designed specifically for 2014-2018 GM 1500 trucks and SUVs equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, these tie rod ends are a direct OEM-style replacement that installs without removing the inner tie rods.
Built with heat-treated 4140 chromoly studs and a massive 1-inch hex steel body, these tie rod ends are designed to handle oversized tires, heavy towing, off-road abuse, and everyday driving with confidence. Their fully serviceable, greaseable design ensures maximum service life while maintaining smooth steering performance.
Independent laboratory testing demonstrates the difference. Factory tie rod ends failed at approximately 9,000 lbs of pull force, common aftermarket replacements failed around 17,000 lbs, while Kryptonite Death Grip Tie Rod Ends withstood an impressive 21,000 lbs before failure.
Includes:
