BD Diesel 1032150 Heavy Duty Steering Upgrade Kit 2001-2010 Chevrolet/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500

BD Diesel 1032150 Heavy Duty Steering Upgrade Kit for 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra 2500/3500

A 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 upgraded the performance in your truck, lifted it, or if you do serious towing, Accesspeed recommends you upgrade your steering kit before doing catastrophic damage to your truck.

The BD Diesel forged I-Beam Centerlink is 30-percent stronger than OEM which reduces flex in the steering system and creates a strong base for the tie rods to be attached to. The BD Diesel 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 that 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 Diesel 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.
