Overview
The TeraFlex 4920201 is a heavy-duty tie rod end with a large one-ton taper and left hand thread, sold individually. TeraFlex builds its heavy duty tie rod ends around a one-ton joint end, and the large taper is made for the larger 60-type knuckles used in its HD axle line. The 2004–2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ, including Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon, and the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ across its trims are the listed vehicles.
Key features
- One-ton joint end
- Large one-ton taper for 60-type knuckles
- Left hand thread, 7/8 inch x 18 TPI
- Sold individually
Replacing a tie rod end
A tie rod end joins the steering knuckle to the steering linkage, so it carries steering load every time the wheel turns. On a Wrangler with a solid front axle, worn joints show up as loose steering, wandering on the highway, or uneven wear on the inside edge of the tire. Raise the front end safely and check the other steering joints before swapping one out, because a worn sleeve or drag link can make a new end feel loose.
Matching the taper and thread direction causes most fitting trouble. A large taper will not seat in a knuckle built for a smaller stud, so confirm the knuckle type before the end comes off the shelf. Reusing the jam nut is common, but a fresh nut is a sensible choice when the old one has lost its grip.
- Inspect the boot for cracks and grease loss
- Check for play by hand with the wheels off the ground
- Recheck the jam nut after the first few drives
