Synergy Heavy Duty Front Steering Kit for 2000-2002 Dodge Ram

This Heavy Duty Steering Kit is a larger and stronger, bolt-on replacement for the stock steering. No drilling or reaming of the knuckles is required. It uses the updated factory T-style steering design to eliminate toe-change caused by Y-style steering. Using the factory T-style steering design also results in no induced bump steer inherent with most aftermarket “cross over” steering kits. The Tie Rod also uses low misalignment “wobble stopper” Tie Rod End Boots to prevent unwanted Tie Rod “flop” which results in a dead spot in the steering when changing direction. The complete kit includes a heavy duty Drag Link, heavy duty Tie Rod, and Steering Stabilizer Mount Kit for use with stock or aftermarket steering stabilizers using a 1/2″ mounting bolt.
