Rusty's WJ Brake and Steering Conversion - XJ Cherokee / ZJ Grand Cherokee

With tires getting bigger and bigger, there is always something to upgrade. Rusty’s has put together a kit that will upgrade the brakes on an XJ, TJ or ZJ to a larger dual piston caliper. This kit also replaces the steering knuckles and relocates the steering much higher than stock, which helps alleviate steering angles with a lift kit. The new tie rod and drag link are constructed of 1.25" heavy-wall DOM tubing, which is much stronger than the stock steering.

This system will basically replace everything from the inner C on the axle outward but retains the factory stub shaft. The bearing cartridge and stub shaft are the only things that are not replaced, but be sure to carefully inspect the bearing assembly to make sure it’s not loose, if loose we highly suggest to replace. The ball joints will also have to be replaced to WJ Grand Cherokee ball joints. All parts in the kit are brand new, not re-manufactured or used.

The steering tie rod and drag link consist of 1.25" diameter DOM tubing that utilizes 7/8" heim joints, safety washers, misalignment spacers, and all grade 8 hardware. The system requires a new track bar and track bar mounting points to keep the track bar and drag link moving in the same plane with one another; this eliminates the possibility of bump steer, wandering, and other undesirable steering characteristics. These parts are included. Please note that this system requires cutting and welding for installation. The tie rod, drag link, and track bar and track bar mount are powder-coated black.
