Currie Currectlync Steering System - Steered Strong
Think size matters? In the case of steering components it certainly does. The size of the stock steering components pales in comparison to that of the new Currie components. While we've seen stock tie rods snap like a twig or become pretzel-shaped, it's hard to imagine such an occurrence with these steering components in place.
Currie technician Tony began the installation by coating the threads of the rod ends with antiseize and then threading them into the tie rod and drag link.
The Currectlync tie rod was then bolted up to the vehicle and secured using the provided jam nuts and cotter pins.
On the passenger side, the drag link was secured between the steering knuckle and the pitman arm, and the tie rod was then bolted to the drag link.
Tony bolted on the new heavy-duty steering-stabilizer mounting brackets and then installed the new Rancho RS5000 steering stabilizer.
The steering-gearbox brace was installed between the steering gear and the passenger-side front sway-bar mount. It will help prevent the area of the unibody around the steering-gear mount from flexing or cracking during off-road maneuvers.
As a final step, Tony adjusted the toe setting and centered the steering wheel. Here, he measures the trailing edge of the tire and compares the figure to that of the leading edge so adjustments could be applied as needed.
