In stock
The Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 HD Billet Aluminum Tie Rod Kit from DRT Motorsports is designed to strengthen and add reliability to the KRX platform. Engineered specifically for the Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 and KRX 1000/4 with the M16 steering rack, this kit replaces OEM tie rod ends with race-grade billet aluminum links that hold up to the punishment serious KRX riders put their machines through.
Made from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet bar stock, the DRT tie rod kit is much stronger than OEM, lighter without sacrificing strength, and clears all components through the entire range of motion — even at full droop or compression, no contact with suspension or steering components anywhere in the steering range. Works in conjunction with the OEM M16 steering rack. 3-piece PTFE-lined 5/8" chromoly rod ends plus DRT's proprietary inner ball joint seal the OEM bellow, protecting the steering rack from water, dirt, and sand intrusion. DRT-spec stainless steel misalignment spacers and class 10.9 hardware. Finished in mil-spec anodized black with laser-engraved branding. Made in the USA.

FAQ
Will it fit both 2-door and 4-door KRX?
Yes. The kit fits both the 2-seat Teryx KRX 1000 and the 4-seat Teryx KRX 1000/4 — same steering rack and tie rod geometry across both wheelbase configurations.
Why upgrade from OEM tie rods?
OEM tie rod ends are a known weak point on the KRX platform under aggressive driving. The DRT billet aluminum links are stronger, lighter, and use PTFE-lined chromoly rod ends with sealed inner ball joints to keep dirt and water out of your steering rack.
Will it fit my Teryx H2?
No. This kit is engineered specifically for the KRX 1000 platform. The 2026+ Teryx H2 uses a different chassis and steering geometry. Contact DRT for Teryx H2 tie rod options.
What's the installation tip?
Verify jam nuts are tight and installed with thread locker. Paint check is recommended for visual movement verification. Inspect jam nuts before each ride to ensure tightness and security.
Is everything included for installation?
Yes. The kit ships complete with billet aluminum tie rod bodies, PTFE-lined chromoly rod ends, DRT proprietary inner ball joints, 303 stainless steel misalignment spacers, and class 10.9 hardware.
Will the OEM bellow still seal?
Yes. The DRT proprietary inner ball joint is engineered to seal the OEM bellow and protect the steering rack from water, dirt, and sand intrusion — critical for desert, dune, and mud use.
