The Detroit Axle - Front 4pc Tie Rods Kit for 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler and 2018 Wrangler JK offers a mixed experience for customers. While some users found that the kit was well-made and served its purpose, others encountered various issues and discrepancies. One common complaint is that two of the tie rods included in the kit were significantly different from the original parts, requiring customers to purchase them separately from another store. Additionally, the product image shows grease fittings, but they are not actually included, necessitating an extra trip to the store to buy them. Another issue mentioned by customers is that the tie rod end for the front passenger side cannot be removed from the center link, forcing them to buy a complete center link and passenger tie rod end as a unit from a local part store. This unexpected additional expense of $160 could have been avoided if a kit with the center link included was purchased. Some customers also found that the product was not exactly correct for their Jeep, despite the system indicating that it was compatible. Furthermore, although zerk fittings were included, some of the tie rod ends were not drilled to install them, leading customers to Consider looking elsewhere for their needs in the future. One customer mentioned that the tie rod connecting to the pitman arm needed to be shortened by 1/2" to avoid hitting the frame and allow for proper turning. This oversight was not apparent until the old parts were removed, causing frustration and extra work. Finally, there was a customer who experienced a bent tie rod on the first day of using their Jeep off-road, resulting in a crooked steering wheel upon their return. In summary, the Detroit Axle - Front 4pc Tie Rods Kit has received mixed reviews from customers. While the product is generally well-made, there are various issues and discrepancies that customers have encountered, such as different parts from the originals, missing grease fittings, and the need for additional purchases. It is advised to thoroughly check compatibility and inspect the product before installation to avoid any potential complications.
