My Cav-Fab steering drag link and tie-rod were installed incorrectly. The Jeep didn't pass inspection. If you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself.

It's too bad that CavFab doesn't supply the buyer with instructions which was a shock to me when I asked. No recommendations, nothing. I am assuming that they are trying to minimize their risk. Their risk is far greater "not" supplying instructions. I cannot review the product yet as I am not complete with my build. As far as what I figured out is that Unkle T is correct with his reinstall. My suggestion to anyone installing this system AND drilling out their knuckles to a 5/8 hole... buy a reamer (Drill America 5/8" Bridge/Construction Reamer with 1/2" Shank, DWR Series, Amazon $40.00) and drill from the bottom up. The tapered hole from the bottom fits the reamer perfectly and the reamer will drill a straight hole. Nice job Unkle T. I wished I found this vid before I went through the two day hassle of finding out how to install. Thumbs up!

The webside says you can run it either over the knuckle or under the knuckle. Most dudes running over the knuckle weld on a 'double sheer' bracket to help with your problem.

I had a setup just like this on my 06' 2500 ram. I installed this the correct way, take it to tire discounters to have it aligned. Well the guy who had done it reinstalled the tapered spacers in the wrong order, found this out when I way backing in my drive way and snapped a bolt because of the bind it was in. Lucky this didn't happen while driving down the highway. But don't always trust a "professional"
