MOOGDS800982A Steering Linkage Assembly for 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

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

This thing came pretty much assembled, you will have to measure yours before removal and match it up before installing and tightening the bolts. It’s direct fit for stock. We have a 3 1/2 inch lift and 35 inch tires and it works great. But you will Have to prime it and paint it really good after cleaning it with a cleaner to remove the oil residue on the Bare metal.

Perfect fit even better then the real thing.

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.

After I put a 2” Rancho lift on my 07 Wrangler my mechanic recommended replacing these parts when I brought it in for an alignment. The parts seem more sturdy than the OEM equipment that I removed. Having grease fittings is a big plus. Install wasn’t too bad, removal was the problem being that everything I pulled off the Jeep had been on there for 14 years. Delivery was fast and the packaging protected the contents. Was delivered by USPS which isn’t as great as UPS in my neighborhood but still way better than FedEx

This fit on my jk 2015 better then original heavy duty only you had to paint before installed ill get rust im running 35s tires do the work can put my 35 tires nice
