PPE 158031500 STAGE 3 TIE ROD ASSEMBLIES

The PPE 158031500 Stage 3 Tie Rod Assemblies feature a larger, robust design to maximize the reliability of the steering system in your 2001-2010 GM 2500HD/3500HD. Factory tie rod assemblies bend and break. They are simply too small and weak to get the job done, especially in high-stress situations. While they are generally strong enough for stock performance, street driven pick-ups, with the added stress that come from larger tires, racing, and off-road use, wont hold up for long.

The fix for these weak tie rod assemblies comes in three stages. All three are bolt-on parts and require no extra modifications to factory components. A two or four wheel alignment is recommended post install. The best they have; these tie rods are overkill for most, for sure, but when it comes to steering components, failure is not something that can be stood for. Featuring 1.5 inch wide forged tie rod, massive 2-1/3 inch ball joints and a much larger and stronger inner ball joint these tie rod assemblies are the best of the best.

FEATURES:

3/4" Toe Adjusting Shaft
Lock Nut For Spindle Connection
Grease Fitting For Easy Maintenance
Heavy-Duty Forged Steel Construction
Limited Lifetime Warranty

WHEN COMPARED TO FACTORY COMPONENTS:

53% Larger Tie Rod Body
28% Larger Inner Ball Joint
35% Larger Outer Ball Joint
30% Larger Toe Adjusting Shaft

Note:

When using on trucks with aftermarket lift kits, the end user must trim one-half-inch off the outer portion of both tie rod ends.

PPE Stage3 Tie Rods are engineered to fit GM stock steering components. Some aftermarket steering manufacturers have changed the placement of the tie rod mounting perch on the front spindle, which then requires a shorter tie rod. The Stage3 Tie Rod outers are fully-threaded internally and may be trimmed to accommodate the relocated aftermarket perch location. An experienced installer should measure to determine the appropriate trim length.
