Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the tie rod made from?

A: The main tube is 7075-T6 aluminum, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The silver Pro-Series adjuster tube is also aluminum and allows for on-vehicle alignment adjustments.

Q: What are the benefits of using aluminum over steel?

A: The aluminum tie rod is lighter, corrosion-resistant, and offers better memory properties—meaning it’s less likely to bend permanently from trail impacts compared to steel.

Q: Is the assembly fully adjustable?

A: Yes. The Pro-Series tie rod features a clamp-style, on-vehicle adjuster, making toe alignment simple and secure.
