Jeep JK Steer Smarts Yeti Steering
Hello! I have been on forums for a long time and have learned a lot from write ups, so I thought it might be time I contribute, plus it gets the new site another thread. So, wish me luck and please offer any feedback!
Last night I decided to finally install a new tie rod and drag link in my JK. After a ton of research, I settled on the Steer Smarts system with their attenuator. I have a 2016 Sahara with a 4.5" AEV lift. As you will see in the pics, it has a few other mods, but this system for the most part will go on a stock jk with either axle jeep offers. The only difference will be at 3" of lift, where the drag link has to go above the knuckle to keep it parallel with the track bar. More on that later.
Before: AEV High Steer Draglink with stock tie rod
And here's the steer smarts system in box. Everything was packaged really nicely. All cardboard, no peanuts. Drag link with attenuator and then the tie rod.
Just wanted to post a follow up. I have had the yeti steering for about a week. Super impressed with it. With the attenuator, I have been trying to find every uneven surface or pothole to run a wheel over. Nice feedback and not jarring at all. I ran it for about five days without a steering stabilizer to see if a wobble would show up, but it never did. I mounted up the new steering stabilizer with the new bracket that moved it up a little from the factory location. Install went smoothly. Finished pics!
