BD Diesel 1032160 Steering Upgrade Kit with Forged Centerlink, Tie Rods, Pitman and Idler Arm

The BD Diesel 1032160 Steering Upgrade Kit strengthens the steering linkage on GM HD trucks. High-torque engines, lift kits and larger tires put more strain on the steering system than the factory parts were designed for. Common results include loose steering, front wheels toeing in under load in four-wheel drive, and broken tie rods. This kit is built to address those weak points and is intended for trucks that are modified, lifted or used for serious towing.

What's Included:

• Forged I-beam centerlink
• Tie rods (2)
• Sway bar end links (2)
• Pitman arm (3-spline)
• Idler arm

Key Features:

• Forged I-beam centerlink is 30 percent stronger than OEM, reducing flex in the steering system and giving the tie rods a solid mounting base
• Tie rods are 1.5x thicker than OEM, with larger inner ball joints for reduced wear
• Ball joints use sintered bearings for better load holding and longer service life
• Greaseable ball joints, pitman arm and idler arm
• Sway bar end links are 1 inch longer than factory and use a high-strength through-bolt design to accommodate the larger tie rods and leveling kits, and to help protect tie rod seals and boots
• Polyurethane bushings with OEM-style shaping for articulation and durability
• Retains factory steering geometry, so OEM replacement parts drop in without modification and bump steer is not introduced

Install Time: approximately 3 hours.

Emissions: This product does not require an EO in California and is legal for sale and use in all 50 states.

Designed to improve the durability and dependability of the steering system while preserving accurate handling.
