Synergy 1994-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Tie Rod

The Synergy 1994-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Tie Rod delivers increased durability without the need for drilling or reaming. Designed around the updated factory T-style steering geometry, it eliminates the toe change commonly associated with Y-style steering systems while avoiding the bump steer often introduced by aftermarket crossover kits.

Engineered for strength, precision, and straightforward installation, this tie rod is designed to be used in conjunction with the Synergy Drag Link and built to handle oversized tires, heavy loads, and aggressive use both on and off road. Complete with Synergy's signature metal-on-metal tie rod ends, this tie rod delivers exceptional longevity and precision. Unlike weaker tie rod ends that still contain a nylon liner, Synergy's metal-on-metal ends are fully greaseable and engineered to perform under extreme loads — providing unmatched durability and steering feel in all conditions. 

When paired with the Synergy Heavy Duty Drag Link, Steering Stabilizer Mount Kit, and one of Synergy's Tuned Steering Stabilizers, it becomes part of a complete steering solution that sets the benchmark for performance, stability, and reliability.

Pro-Tip: Pair one of Synergy's heavy duty steering kits with Synergy's Heavy Duty Track Bar for the most reliable front end upgrade to your Ram!
