Currie Steering
« on: March 20, 2012, 04:31:29 PM »
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.

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

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.

Too bad someone local doesn't  sell a kit with some really heavy duty TREs.
