Before I go and drop $500 on the CurrectLync steering any negatives to it?
Running it on a ZJ with 6" lift and long arms.

Frenchy approved!! ;D
Guess if you're getting it, I will have to as well.

check if it's recommended for a 6" lift... there is limitations I believe.

Mine just came today. Feel free to pop over if you want to check it out before it goes on...
-
i love mine! ;)
-
I also when i had mine ;)
-
so if something goes "pop" under the jeep every time I turn left (even sitting still) I probably need one too right? ;D
-
When mine did that Knox, it was the track bar. Have someone turn the wheel, you will see the joint pop when turning.
The Currie system has the drag link and tie rod.
-
I'm fairly certain its the UCA bushings are shot. I knelt down at the front while the wife turned the wheel, nothing looked sloppy, and I really couldn't hear it. You actually hear it clearer from inside, and you can feel it under your feet.
So I don't completely derail this topic... whats the difference between the correctlync currie steering kit, and the HD currie steering kit. I could google, but then we wouldn't be talking about steering kits in this thread anymore.

I did google it, and now I need a beer, it's been a long day.

I ran mine first with 4" and then with 7" on TJ no problem - only downside is initial cost and cost to rebuild when its time
-
Confirmed with Curried it will work.
Should he here in a day or two since Stan had it in stock. ;D

So the ZJ V8 semi-HD steering not beefy enough for you Fras?
My only complaint with the Currie steering is the proprietary TRE's that you must buy from them when they wear out. You just can't run to the local parts store and buy them. Bit of a hassle with downtime if your Jeep is your DD. I waited over a month for one. You also have to be careful when you grease them and not use an air-fed grease gun.
Get it. Bolt in. Enjoy. You won't be disappointed . All the Jeep-type forums rub the Currectlync's nuts.

Works good on a TJ. Easy install and functions well
-
Too bad someone local doesn't sell a kit with some really heavy duty TREs.
:P
-
Evolution make a steering kit?
-

Clay has done a one-off steering set-up on Erin's MJ already . Took him like a day or two to finish .
-

-

Curious as to this comment? My Currie joints have all been good except for two which would not take grease due to an odd shaped grease nipple (defective). The simple solution is to re-tap the hole and install a new grease nipple. I have done this countless times on worn-out grease nipples.

Or stock the Currie TRE's, nobody stocks anything in this town, it's amazing they are still in business with all the deals that are available online. How can they (businesses) expect us to pay more for something when we can easily order it online for hundreds less? Maybe they'll all learn the hard way when the couple of 4x4 shops that are left close for good.

I'm referring to the TRE's and not the JJ's Ron. The instructions state that the TRE's come from the factory already greased and not to use an air fed grease gun when it comes time to grease them. The TRE that connects to the pitman arm on mine took a long time before it would take any grease. I changed out the zerk fitting and no dice. It was a few months of use before it would take grease. There's a couple of threads on Jeepforum where users had the same problem with that same TRE. No biggie but something to be aware of.
