Description
Crafted to outperform OEM standards, this kit includes a forged I-Beam Centerlink that is 30% stronger than stock, reducing flex in the steering system and providing a sturdy foundation for the tie rods. The tie rods, 1.5 times thicker than OEM, feature larger inner ball joints for enhanced durability. Greaseable ball joints with sintered bearings offer better load holding and increased longevity.
Longer and high-strength sway bar end links accommodate larger tie rods and leveling kits, while polyurethane bushings ensure articulation and durability. Retaining factory geometry, this upgrade kit allows for OEM drop-in replacements without any modifications, preserving the vehicle's steering accuracy.
Unlike other kits that alter steering geometry, risking safety and drivability, the BD upgrade kit ensures stable handling on uneven roads and prevents dangerous "bump steer." It offers an economic solution to worn-out steering systems, enhancing the truck's durability and reliability while preventing costly repairs.

Upgrade your truck's steering system with the BD Diesel 1032150 Steering Upgrade Kit and enjoy enhanced performance, longevity, and peace of mind while saving on repair costs.
A major common weak point on Chevrolet/GM HD series trucks is the steering linkage and tie rods with high torque engines, lift kits and larger tires putting greater strains on the steering system than what OEM intended. These common failures include loose steering, front wheels toe-in under load while in four-wheel drive, and broken tie rods. If you have performance upgrades in your truck, lifted it or do serious towing, you will want to upgrade your steering kit BEFORE doing catastrophic damage to your truck! The forged I-Beam Centerlink is 30% stronger than OEM which reduces flex in the steering system and creates a strong base for the tie rods to be attached to. The tie rods are 1.5x thicker than OEM for reduced flex and have larger inner ball joints for reduced wear. Testing has shown the BD tie rods can take over double the amount of force than what OEM rods can handle. Greaseable ball joints come with sintered bearings and allow for better load holding and increased life. Longer, high-strength through bolt designed sway bar end links are included to accommodate larger tie rods and leveling kits. Polyurethane bushings have OEM style shaping for articulation and durability. The entire kit retains factory geometry for accurate steering and will allow for any OEM replacement parts to drop-in without any geometry sacrifice or modification required. Other upgrade kit designs change the geometry of the steering which can sacrifice safety and drivability for straight line strength while pulling or racing. This can also create a dangerous "bump steer" where the vehicle becomes uncontrollable on uneven roads. By not altering the steering geometry, the BD upgrade kit saves you from this problem. The total package is an economic upgrade for worn out steering and will increase the durability, longevity and dependability of your truck while saving money by preventing catastrophic repairs.
