Don't cut your firewall in a u shape slot below the column install this kit and be done with no cutting or shimming. The mini U-joints are sealed and maintenance free for the life of your truck. NOTE: You will need to measure the diameter of the shaft coming out of the power steering box as there were two used on the Scouts. 3/4" or 13/16". I need to know to get you the right one.

Tie Rods and Draglinks for Scout 80/800 and Scout 2:

Unequalled strength. These two products when added to your vehicle insure you stand the best chance of returning unbroken in the back country and on the toughest trail in America.

They are superior and outperform the stock flimsy equipment that is made of 1/8 wall mild steel and 5/8 solid mild steel. The factory ones are hollow, these are solid polished stainless steel. In addition the ends are the heaviest on the market. An additional option available is adding heim joints to the end in place of the conventional ends. What this means is more flex on the draglink when articulating (spacers must be used...ask). On the tie rod it means that you can move the tie rod above the knuckles for 2-3" more ground clearance in a spot previously taken up in front of the axle (requires drilling out taper to 3/4"hole). This mounting method maximizes chances of not bending tie rods on the trails. If you have a custom application please call and discuss this with us.
