Currie Steering Tie Rod End

Currie Steering Tie Rod Ends: Built for the Demands of Off-Road

When stock steering components simply aren't up to the punishment of lifted rigs, big tires, and rocky trails, Currie Enterprises has long been the name serious off-road enthusiasts turn to. The brand's steering tie rod ends aren't afterthoughts — they are engineered as purpose-built performance parts that integrate directly into Currie's proven heavy-duty steering ecosystems, particularly the legendary Currectlync® and RockJock® systems.

The Currectlync® System and Its Tie Rod Ends

At the heart of Currie's tie rod end lineup is their role within the Currectlync® heavy-duty steering system. The Currie Currectlync® heavy-duty tie rod and drag link system features a 1¼" diameter forged alloy drag link and a 1¼" solid alloy steel tie rod bar that is bored and threaded on the ends. The individual tie rod ends that anchor this system are equally robust. The right-hand thread tie rod end for the Currectlync system is designed with 22mm x 1.5 pitch threads for maximum strength, features a zerk fitting for greasing for increased performance and long life, and includes a boot, castle nut, and cotter pin.

Both right-hand and left-hand thread variants are available as standalone replacement parts, making it easy to service a Currectlync system without replacing the entire assembly. Each tie rod end is replaceable, so if one is damaged, it is not a big deal — just buy a new end and swap it in. This modularity is a hallmark of Currie's design philosophy: build components tough, but make them serviceable in the field.

Johnny Joint® Rod Ends: A Step Up in Articulation

For builders and fabricators seeking even greater flexibility, Currie also offers their Johnny Joint® rod ends as tie rod end solutions. The Currie Enterprises CE-9114 is a 2½" Johnny Joint rod end, forged, with a 1¼" right-hand thread. These forged units are externally greasable via a zerk fitting and finished in gold zinc plating — a combination of corrosion resistance and maintainability that suits the demands of regular trail use.

1-Ton Tie Rod Assemblies for Maximum-Duty Frontends

For those running Currie's most aggressive frontend axle assemblies, the brand steps up to an even heavier-duty option. Currie's 1-Ton Tie Rod Assembly features a 1.375-inch diameter 4130 chromoly tube with a black powder coat finish, greasable 1-ton style tie rod ends with boots and hardware, and fits Currie 1-Ton Frontends from 64 to 70 inches wide. The use of 4130 chromoly steel is a significant differentiator — this aircraft-grade alloy offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and is far more resistant to bending under lateral load than mild steel alternatives.

Proven in Competition, Engineered for the Trail

RockJock's completely bolt-on Currectlync Steering System is rated at 200 percent stronger than stock components — and Currie's tie rod ends are what make that rating possible at the critical pivot points. Currie has been actively involved in professional rock crawling competitions, Jeepspeed Challenge desert racing, King of the Hammers, and other off-road and racing events nationwide , and the tie rod ends in their catalog reflect those lessons learned at full throttle. Whether you're replacing a worn Currectlync end, upgrading to a Johnny Joint for custom fab work, or equipping a 1-ton frontend build, Currie's steering tie rod ends deliver the strength and serviceability that demanding off-road use requires.
