The bushing is CNC machined with a tapered profile and gold zinc plated for corrosion resistance. Installation requires drilling the WJ knuckle to 3\/4\" at the tie rod mount location — the tapered bushing is then pressed into the drilled bore, providing the correct seat geometry for an OE-style WJ tie rod end to mount on top of the knuckle in the flip position. The tapered profile matches the taper of the OE-style WJ tie rod end for correct seating and retention under steering load. This bushing is the knuckle interface component of a WJ tie rod flip build — the appropriate WJ tie rod end and flip kit hardware are required to complete the system. Sold individually.
