MOOG DS800982A Steering Linkage Assembly for 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler

I installed this on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I have a 4" lift on 35s with 65K miles on it. First off: DS800982A is the part number for the entire assembly. It includes the tie rod, both tie rod ends and the steering stabalizer clamp. It also includes the drag link, both ends, and ajusting sleeve. The entire steering set up. The reason I mentioned the above is because Autoplicity has the ABSOLUTE BEST PRICE of this part number throughout all ends of the internet and parts stores. Believe me I looked. Im talking close to half the price of others. I thought about Synergy, Teraflex, etc. But over $400 for just the tie rod didn't seem right. Plus, if you're like me, my JKU is mostly a once a month trail ready, daily driver/baby hauler. About the parts themselves, Install is pretty straight forward. The drag link and tie rod are both pre-assembled. Just take off your old stuff and bolt on the new parts (alignment will be needed.) All Moog parts, to include their "Problem Solver" joints. All greaseable. Let me tell ya. It's night and day the way my JKU drives. Like it did when it left the lot stock. Steering is tight, no more tire "wobble", and road wondering is no more. Time will tell as far as durability, but out of package alone is better than the garbage stock steering components. They're beefier and better made than stock. Save you some money, get quality parts, and upgrade your steering to MOOG! You won't be disappointed. P.s. Shipping from Autoplicity was FAST. They shipped it on Monday morning (after a weekend order), I got it Tuesday afternoon.

The install was actually pretty simple, and Im just a shade tree mechanic. Did’nt even jack it up or pull the front tires off. Youtube has plenty of videos. Only specialty tool I would reccomemd is a ball joint seperator 2ft long fork style and a 3lb hammer. Used a tape measure got it all close enough to original then took it down for alignment. Easy peezy. Roughly 3hrs to install both and I was taking my time. I spay painted everything the day before. Heavy duty compared to factory, excellent steering now feels solid. Good luck

Excellent for the price, beefier then stock just needs a good coat of paint and it’s good to go.

Great fit for my 2015 JKU like the greasable sockets, tightened up the steering some, and no more wobble.

The kit went on pretty easy for this type of install job. Components are beefy and the ends are all good quality with grease fittings. However, the entire thing RUSTed quick. Even the bolt has RUST on it after about 6 months. For me, I am going to paint the front axle anyways, so I will do them together. It is just sad that there would not be a quality coating already on the part OR details stating that you must coat it yourself. I cannot remember seeing anything about that in the details or instructions. In all, I would recommend this for anyone that wants OEM replacement with grease fittings and does not do a lot of major rock crawling. There are better options for those who do.

We just got back from Easter Jeep Safari and these components took a beating! Held up great!

Nice having all the parts in one. Did our 2014 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited. Parts looked beefier than stock if they last as long as stock I will be happy got over 100k on originals. Needed new tires and noticed that outside was wearing more check and noticed side to side slop in tire hence the need for replacement.

Decided to replace all the hardware under the front end of my 13 Rubicon. This was done in conjunction with ball joints and inner axle seals (that is a rodeo in itself). Comparable to the OEM setup. I didn't need anything that was Super Duty, not to mention a lot of that stuff is more maintenance intensive. Just needed a good replacement. Everything is complete, just bolt it up. AFTER taking and double checking your measurements for length. I set my toe at 1/16" in. Make sure you check your steering wheel, get your drag link right. Advice: put a good coat of paint on this assembly. It is NOT painted, and it'll look like crap after a little while (it is a bare steel). Also, a decent puller set might be handy when separating the joints from knuckles, pitman, etc.

Fitment is perfect on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, and has upgraded the steering linkages considerably by not just having larger bars but also being the T style instead of the Y style that comes default on Ram 2500's prior to 2006. The difference between the two is that the Y style relay rod connects from the pitman arm directly to the hub itself with the drag link connected to the relay rod and the driver side wheel. The T style has the drag link running directly between the two hubs, with the relay rod connected from the pitman arm to the drag link. The T style setup makes a huge difference in bump steer and stability. After putting nearly 1000km on this setup, so far it has performed flawlessly and restored my steering.

Fits the Jeep perfectly, 1/3 the cost of buying OEM

Great Stock Replacement. Nice to have greaseable ends unlike the stock ones. No more "Death Wobble".
