JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Strengthening stock drag link end

The Moog ES3624 Tie rod end was designed for Dodge Ram 3500's. It fits the JK OEM drag link to the pitman arm and Rock Krawler tie rods. They are Greasable and heavy duty(no plastic interior parts like OEM) and sell for around $22. I just put it on, including the Currie Tie Rod. Both are pure grade A Beef.

Do you have any pics of the Currie tie rod installed? Did you notice any difference in the steering with it?

Also did you grease it yet? I am trying to figure out where the grease comes out on the Currie tie rod..

The grease comes out of here. This is under the boot..

This is when I over greased it. They only need a few pumps with the grease gun.

Thanks for the pics, but what I mean is when the boots are on, where does the old grease push out when you grease it? Where does the old grease escape?

U don't want to see any grease come out according to currie. There not greased like a typical joint where u want the boot to fill up.
Two to three pumps every oil change. That's it.

If u did over grease it would come out the sides or the center of the boot.

So where does the old grease go? If you grease em every oil change, they will fill eventually..

Well I'm sure over time a lil might come out, but the idea is to not over grease because they don't need it.

Yes. Made the steering feel way more solid and not like the components were made of spaghetti! That and the drag link with the steering flip made a tremendous difference.
