Heavy-duty Ford F-250/350 Super Duty (2005-2016 4WD) gets a 9pc kit with center link and outer tie rods, while a dedicated Front Tie Rods Kit suits Silverado/Sierra 1500 with its 4-groove pitman/idler setup. Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (2000-2002) owners can grab the 7pc Track Bar Tie Rods Kit for precise alignment.
Match your kit to your drivetrain and symptoms: steering play points to tie rods, while vibrations suggest ball joints or sway bars. Explore broader options in our Tie Rod Ends & Parts or Steering Kits categories for complementary fixes.
