Kryptonite SS Centerlink Tie Rod Package - 1988-1998 GMC C/K1500

Kryptonite built their name solving steering and suspension problems on GM trucks that OEM engineering never fully addressed, and their SS Centerlink Tie Rod Package brings that same problem-solving approach to your OBS C/K1500's steering system.

The factory centerlink and tie rod setup on these trucks is a well-known weak point, especially on trucks running larger tires, lift kits, or just plain high mileage - the factory pieces develop play, wear unevenly, and contribute to the vague, wandering steering feel that plagues a lot of well-used OBS trucks. Kryptonite's SS (stainless steel) package replaces the wear-prone factory components with genuinely stronger, more durable pieces designed to hold up under real-world abuse.

Stainless steel construction resists the corrosion and wear that eventually claims factory steering components, especially in states that salt their roads in the winter. Beyond the material upgrade, Kryptonite's engineering addresses the actual failure points in the factory design rather than just reproducing the OEM part in a different finish - this is a genuine upgrade, not a like-for-like replacement.

Make sure to select the correct drivetrain configuration when ordering - 2WD and 4WD C/K1500 trucks use different steering linkage geometry, and Kryptonite builds this package specific to each configuration to ensure correct fitment.

Installation uses factory-style steering linkage mounting points, well within reach of any front-end shop. As always, a proper alignment is recommended once your steering components are replaced.
