Description
When doing a Solid axle Swap on your Fullsize Bronco, you’ll need a new steering linkage. Our tough new steering systems use 1.25″ DOM with a .2815″ wall thickness threaded (no weld in insert) for maximum strength and clearance. We attach the drag link to the tie rod via a saddle to maintain factory geometry and to eliminate the use of long spacers and additional torque on the passenger side knuckle.
We use misalignment spacers around the high-quality Teflon lined 3/4″ rod ends and GR8 bolts to prevent binding and allow full articulation of the joint. Requires drilling out your knuckles to 3/4″ (except with our new Dana 44 swap knuckles that are machined 3/4″). It can be installed over or under the knuckle with included hardware (this can cause issues with clearance on the cross member if not using the correct trackbar drop bracket. If purchasing please mention in the notes that you plan to run it over the knuckle along with details on your trac bar setup.)
Now includes a tapered heim stud at the pitman arm, so you no longer need to drill your pitman arm to install this system.
We include all-metal lock nuts and cotter pins to drill and secure everything in place. Comes black powder coated with detailed instructions. To get you the correct one we need two measurements on your vehicle; from center to center of your knuckles where the tie rod goes through and from the center of the pitman arm to the center of the PASSENGER side knuckle. These kits are based on a stock location steering box. We want both of these measurements because they will vary depending on lift height, steering box and the front end/knuckle setup you have.
There is a significant amount of adjustment with 2 Heim joints on each linkage. Check your local regulations before ordering as some states will not pass inspection with heim joints in the steering system. Please note that if you mount the steering linkage over the knuckle (TRO), these systems are incompatible with a shock mounted to the front of the C-Cap. Shocks must be behind the coil if it is mounted TRO.

Duff has been a huge part of my recent solid axle swap on my 95 Bronco. For this steering linkage alone, they were great about answering questions I had. The process to purchase this part is a little lengthy with a few back and forth emails to verify dimensions but once I got my parts I quickly realized it was for a good reason. My parts fit perfect and look amazing. The durability of these parts will far exceed anything I will ever do with my truck. I’d highly recommend this part if you’re doing a SAS.
