Tierod link hitting lower track bar mount when turning right.

[JerridB]

I have a 2018 jlu Rubicon with a 3.5in lift. I have synergy drag link and tierod. This past weekend I installed rock jock high steer knuckles to replace the stock aluminum ones. Now when I turn right my tierod is hitting my lower track bar mount. Has any body else ran into this problem?

Rock Jock high steer knuckles are made to work with Rock Jock Draglink and tie rod . Thats why they have an odd shape .. I use Synergy track bar because my core track bar almost made contact with the bearing case on my synergy track bar/ sector shaft bracket and that was sitting still . Did you use the raised track bar mount and the SS mounts also

Yeah I installed the raised mount. I had a felling I was gonna have run the rock jock tie rod and drag link I was just hoping not to have to replace the expensive pars I have. Thank you for your input looks like I'm gonna have to make an order tonight.

Kind of wanted this set up for a while so when I needed a draglink I bought the currie. My mistake was I had bought the brackets to raise the SS up but not the set for the High Steer so that was a waste of money. Then I bought the rest of the kit a little at a time . Its the best thing I have done to the JT though

The reason I went with the rock jock knuckles was I got a great deal on them a guy had bought them and never ran them so I picked them up for 500 bucks. then I saved up for the dynatrac ball joints. Installed everything last Sunday at a buddy's house and ended up having to cut the SS stud off and grind the head of the bolt down on the trac bar to get home lol. I just ordered the rock jock tierod this afternoon should be here Wednesday and hopefully I can get this thing back on the road.

you may have turned too much. Did you install the steering limiter on the new knuckle?

You may end up with their Drag link and their High steer SS mount also before you are finished . Even if you do it is well worth it in the end . I love mine. Its a great kit if you start with that right from the get go . Most don't know it even exist for a jeep with only 2.5" lift so when they want to upgrade their steering they end up spending money on parts that don't work with the RJ High steer
