2001-2010 GM HD Steering Upgrade Kit (1032160)

The BD Diesel Steering Upgrade Kit is a comprehensive and economic solution engineered to reinforce a major common weak point on Chevrolet/GM HD series trucks: the steering linkage and tie rods. These components are prone to failure (including loose steering, wheel toe-in under load, and broken tie rods) due to high torque engines, lift kits, and larger tires. This kit includes a Centerlink, two tie rods, two sway bar end links, a pitman arm (3-spline), and an idler arm. The core of the system is the forged I-Beam Centerlink, which is 30% stronger than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, reducing flex and creating a robust base. The tie rods are 1.5 times thicker than OEM and feature larger, greaseable ball joints (with sintered bearings) proven to handle over double the force of OEM rods. The entire package retains factory geometry for accurate steering, eliminating dangerous "bump steer" and increasing the durability, longevity, and dependability of your truck.
