Early Bronco Tie Rod Over Knuckle Bushing Sleeves for F150 Tie Rod Ends

If you’re pushing your Early Bronco harder off-road, steering clearance becomes a real concern. These Chromoly Tie Rod Over Knuckle (TRO) Sleeves are designed to move your tie rod to the top of the steering knuckle when running larger F150 tie rod ends, improving clearance, steering angles, and durability where it matters most. This is a proven upgrade for Broncos that see rocks, ruts, and real trail time.

Built from chromoly steel, these bushings are made to handle the added stress that comes with off-road use and larger tires. Once installed, your tie rod sits higher and farther out of harm’s way, reducing the chances of trail damage while tightening up steering geometry.

• Tie Rod Over Knuckle Conversion – Relocates the tie rod to the top of the knuckle for increased ground and obstacle clearance

• Designed for F150 Tie Rod Ends – Built to work with the larger, stronger 76–79 F150 / 78–79 Bronco style tie rod ends

• Chromoly Construction – Strong material choice for steering components that see heavy off-road loads

• Improves Steering Geometry – Helps reduce drag link and tie rod angle issues on lifted Broncos

• Trail-Proven Upgrade – Ideal for Broncos running larger tires and seeing rough terrain

Important Installation Notes

• Knuckle Modification Required – Steering knuckles must be reamed to accept the sleeves

• Reamer Spec: 1.5" taper per foot of run tapered reamer

• Tie Rod Required – You must use a compatible tie rod setup

Recommended Pairing:
For best results, pair these sleeves with our #2380 Two-Way Adjustable Tie Rod Kit for F150 Knuckles, which is designed to work correctly with this conversion. Also purchase this Tapered Knuckle Reamer to complete the project.
