Default Rubicon Express High-Steer Drag Link Installed (pic)

I put a Rubicon Express high-steer draglink on the other night. It, along with the new track bar bracket, solved my death wobble issues. I can now hit all the bumps in the road at any speed I want. The new tie-rod ends are 1-ton Chevy. Now I just need to build the tie-rod...

How much would it be worth to you to get rid of a cronic "death wobble" issue? $214? That's what I paid for the drag link and a new steering stabilizer (old one got beat up again somehow ). The track bar bracket just cost me the time to build it out of some 3/16 plate that I already had from the bumper build.

The drag link was under $200 shipped. No one I know of has a high steer tie-rod out. Making one out of some DOM and 3/4" rod ends wouldn't be too hard if I can find someone to bend the 1-1/2" x 1/4" wall tubing in 2 places. It's not a project I will be doing any time soon. I've got to get a more reliable vehicle for the wife to drive.

$214 sounds cheap enough, I HATE DW!

Looks like you got a nice beauty mark in your front bumper now!
