Kryptonite Death Grip Tie Rods (SKU KRTR11)

The two rods that connect your steering box to the front wheels, replaced with much stronger units. The factory rods on these trucks are a known weak point and can bend or wear out, which shows up as loose, wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Kryptonite uses a solid 1-1/4 inch hex steel body with heat-treated chromoly outer studs.

why this one — The cheapest way to fix the single most common steering complaint on a Duramax HD, because it swaps only the two rods and reuses your factory center link. Kryptonite states these are pre-greased and need re-greasing every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, so if you would rather never touch a grease gun again this is the wrong pick. It also does nothing for a worn center link or idler arm, so if those are already sloppy you need the bigger kit instead.
