3/4" Heim Tie Rod Kit – Using 1.5" x .25" Wall DOM

Heavy-duty DIY tie rod replacement for serious off-road use

This is just what the doctor ordered if you’ve bent your stock 1/16" thin-wall tie rod—or worse, a solid steel tie rod—and you’re tired of fixing it. This DIY kit uses 1.5" diameter x .25" wall DOM tubing, built to take repeated hits and keep you steering straight. Whether you're tackling rocks, trails, or just need a serious upgrade, this kit gets it done right the first time.

You will need to drill your steering arms to a 5/8" bore to use this kit. Welding is required—make sure it’s done by a competent welder with the right setup.

Tips to Help Prevent Any Seized or Warped Threads

• Correctly adjust welder settings and start your puddle on the tube (too much heat will warp the threads).
• Do not weld the tube adapter with the rod end threaded inside (different cooling rates will lock them together).
• Wait until everything is fully cooled before threading rod ends into the adapters.

Rod End Maintenance Tip

We only recommend using Tri-Flow to service our rod ends. Using products like WD-40 or Blaster will void the warranty.

Note: This kit requires cutting and welding. Be sure to check clearances with steering at full lock to determine if any bends are necessary before final cuts.
