2005-2023 Tacoma XD Tie Rod Kit (ICO55157)

The ICON XD Forged Tie Rod Kit for the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma is a heavy-duty steering upgrade designed to address the well-documented strength limitations of the factory components. Built specifically for Tacoma owners running larger tires and navigating technical terrain, these tie rods utilize superior materials and increased dimensions to prevent bending or failure. The inner tie rod and ball stud are CNC-machined from 4140 chromoly with metal-on-metal bearing surfaces, replacing the weaker plastic races found in stock units. With larger adjustment threads and forged steel outer ends, this kit offers a significant boost in steering reliability for the most demanding off-road applications.

Features

• 4140 Chromoly Inner Tie Rods: CNC-machined from high-strength chromoly steel for maximum durability and resistance to breakage.
• Forged Steel Outer Ends: Heavy-duty forged construction maintains the stock profile to ensure compatibility with all factory and most aftermarket wheels.
• Increased Thread Diameter: Features adjustment threads that are 12% larger than stock, providing a substantial increase in shear strength.
• Metal-on-Metal Bearings: Replaces factory plastic inner races with durable metal-on-metal surfaces to survive extreme impacts and high-load scenarios.
• Greaseable Joints: The outer tie rod ends feature grease zerks, allowing for regular maintenance and a significantly extended service life.
• Factory Range of Motion: Engineered to maintain the same operating angles as the original equipment, ensuring full steering travel without binding.
