Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Clayton Off Road Flip Kit Tie Rod Bushing (COR-5200950) is a CNC-machined, gold zinc plated tapered bushing that allows a knuckle to be drilled to 3/4" and converted to accept an OE-style Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ tie rod end in the top-mount (flip) position. Used across TJ, LJ, XJ, ZJ, and WJ steering builds, most commonly as part of a right-hand-drive (RHD) drag link conversion or custom high-steer setup using the matching RHD-style WJ tie rod end Clayton offers separately. The tapered profile matches the OE-style WJ tie rod end taper for correct seating and retention under steering load. Made in the USA. Sold individually.
This bushing alone does not complete a flip kit. The matching RHD-style WJ tie rod end and any required drag link/trackbar bracket components are sold separately.

Platform Comparison — Confirm the Correct Bushing for Your Build
| SKU | Drill Size | Platform | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| COR-5200950 (this listing) | 3/4" | TJ / LJ / XJ / ZJ / WJ knuckles | Converts knuckle to accept OE-style WJ tie rod end, often for RHD drag link conversion |
| COR-5208210 | 7/8" | JK (2007-2018) passenger side upper knuckle | Converts JK knuckle for RHD drag link installation — requires RHD drag link and trackbar bracket |
These are not interchangeable — confirm your platform and required drill size before ordering.
Verified Fitment
| Application | Status |
|---|---|
| TJ, LJ, XJ, ZJ knuckles being modified for OE-style WJ tie rod end | ✓ |
| WJ knuckle applications | ✓ |
| Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018) | ✗ Requires different bushing — COR-5208210, 7/8" drill |
| Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (2005-2010) | ✗ Different front knuckle architecture |
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Drill size | Must drill to exactly 3/4" — undersized prevents seating, oversized causes movement under steering load |
| Drilling method | Use a drill press or guided step drill for a straight, on-axis bore — an angled bore misaligns the tie rod end taper |
| Press installation | Use a press or appropriate driver — do not hammer without a driver, as uneven force distorts the bushing taper |
| Tie rod end and drag link | Not included — this is the knuckle interface component only; a complete flip or RHD conversion requires the matching tie rod end and drag link |
| Trackbar geometry | For RHD drag link conversions, a trackbar bracket is typically also required to correct trackbar geometry |
| JK platform | Does not use this bushing — requires COR-5208210 at 7/8" drill instead |
Common Questions
What is this bushing actually for?
Most commonly, converting a knuckle to accept a right-hand-drive (RHD) style WJ tie rod end as part of a drag link relocation or custom high-steer conversion. It's also used in general tie rod flip applications on TJ, LJ, XJ, and ZJ builds.
Does this work on my JK?
No. The JK uses a different bushing (COR-5208210) with a 7/8" drill requirement, specifically for the passenger side upper knuckle RHD drag link conversion.
What else do I need to complete the build?
The matching OE-style WJ tie rod end (standard or RHD-specific), the appropriate drag link, and — for RHD drag link conversions — typically a trackbar bracket to correct trackbar geometry. This bushing is the knuckle interface component only.
How many do I need?
Sold individually. Most flip or RHD conversion builds use one bushing per modified knuckle — confirm your specific build's requirements before ordering.
What happens if I drill the bore at an angle?
The tie rod end taper will be misaligned, causing binding or improper seating. Use a drill press or guided step drill to keep the bore straight and on-axis.
The Obsidian Take
The COR-5200950 is for the builder converting a knuckle to accept an OE-style WJ tie rod end — most often as part of a right-hand-drive drag link conversion or a custom high-steer setup, and used across TJ, LJ, XJ, ZJ, and WJ platforms. CNC-machined taper, gold zinc plated, precise 3/4" press fit.
This is one component in a larger system, not a complete solution. Before ordering, confirm you also have the matching tie rod end, the correct drag link, and — if doing an RHD conversion — the trackbar bracket needed to correct trackbar geometry. And confirm you're not on a JK platform, which uses a completely different bushing at a different drill size.

Manufacturer Data Disclaimer: Specifications sourced from Clayton Off Road's own product documentation and authorized distributor pages. Input data understated this bushing's primary application (RHD drag link conversion) and incorrectly limited fitment to WJ knuckles only — confirmed fitment spans TJ, LJ, XJ, ZJ, and WJ platforms.
