Verified Fitment This kit fits the 1999 through 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ in all trims. It includes both the tie rod bar and drag link bar machined from 1-3/8" solid 7075-T651 al uminum, jam nuts, and the upgraded tie rod stabilizer mount — everything needed to complete both bars in one installation. End links are not included and must be transferred from the factory bars or sourced separately. Year Range Make Model Drivetrain Notes 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ All End links not included — reuse factory or upgraded OE-style ends Before ordering — two confirmations required: Your existing end links are in serviceable condition and are OE-style thread spec — this kit is designed to transfer existing end links directly to the new bars. If your end links are worn, damaged, or non-standard, order COR-5206906 (complete tie rod system with ends) and COR-5206904 (complete drag link system with ends) instead. A Fox or Bilstein steering stabilizer is sourced and ready — the factory WJ stabilizer is not compatible with this system. The upgraded stabilizer mount is included in this kit, but the stabilizer itself must be purchased separately. Pairs with: Nothing — this is the complete WJ steering upgrade. Individual bar-only options (COR-5206921 tie rod bar, COR-5206911 drag link bar) and complete-with-ends systems (COR-5206906, COR-5206904) are available for partial builds.

If your end links are worn, damaged, or non-OE-spec, order COR-5206906 + COR-5206904 instead. Fox or Bilstein steering stabilizer Required — factory WJ stabilizer is not compatible with this system. Source separately. See related items for compatible options. Professional installation labor Not included. Critical Compatibility Condition Interaction Action Required End links not included — must be serviceable The kit threads existing factory or upgraded OE-style end links directly onto the new aluminum bars. If end links are worn, have play, or are non-OE-spec thread, the kit cannot be installed correctly. Inspect existing end links before ordering. If worn or non-OE, order COR-5206906 + COR-5206904 instead. Factory WJ steering stabilizer — not compatible The factory WJ stabilizer cannot mount to this system. The upgraded tie rod stabilizer mount is included in this kit. The stabilizer itself is not — a Fox or Bilstein stabilizer must be sourced separately and installed with the included mount before driving. Source Fox or Bilstein stabilizer before installation. Do not drive without a steering stabilizer. Upgraded tie rod stabilizer mount — included Unlike ordering COR-5206906 and COR-5206904 separately, this kit includes the upgraded stabilizer mount. You do not need to source the mount separately. No additional action — install using the included mount. Jam nuts included Jam nuts lock the end links at correct thread engagement depth on the new bars. Torque jam nuts to OE specification at ride height after setting final toe. Use included jam nuts — do not omit. End link thread engagement Thread existing end links to the same engagement depth as the factory bars. Verify minimum engagement is maintained at final toe setting. Check thread engagement depth before and after toe adjustment. Alignment — both bars installed simultaneously With both tie rod and drag link replaced in one session, set steering center and final toe after both bars are installed and torqued. One alignment after full installation — no need to set twice. Installation Notes Skill level: Beginner to intermediate. True bolt-in — no cutting, welding, drilling, or pressing. The additional step vs. COR-5206906 or COR-5206904 is threading existing end links onto the new bars rather than receiving them pre-installed. Installation summary: Remove the factory WJ tie rod and drag link assemblies. Thread your existing OE-style end links from the factory bars onto the new 7075-T651 aluminum bars at the same engagement depth as the factory bars. Install jam nuts to lock position. Install the upgraded tie rod stabilizer mount included in this kit. Install both bars in the factory tie rod and drag link positions — no bracket modification, no fabrication required. Do not reinstall the factory steering stabilizer. Install a Fox or Bilstein steering stabilizer using the included upgraded mount before driving. Torque all end link and jam nut hardware to OE specification at ride height. Verify steering center and toe alignment. Set final alignment after both bars are installed and torqued. Required tools: Tool Required Standard socket and wrench set Yes Torque wrench Yes Alignment equipment or toe/steering center verification Yes — post-install Common Questions How is this different from ordering COR-5206906 and COR-5206904 separately?Two differences: end links and cost. COR-5206906 (complete tie rod) and COR-5206904 (complete drag link) include OE-style end links pre-installed — ready to bolt in out of the box. COR-5206902 (this kit) does not include end links — it is designed for buyers whose existing end links are in good condition and who don't want to pay for new ones. COR-5206902 also includes the upgraded stabilizer mount in the kit price, where COR-5206906 requires it to be sourced separately. If your end links are good: COR-5206902 is the correct purchase. If you need new end links: order COR-5206906 + COR-5206904. What end links do I need and how do I know mine are compatible?The kit accepts factory or upgraded OE-style end links with the standard WJ thread specification. If you are transferring the factory end links from your stock WJ tie rod and drag link, they will fit. If you have previously upgraded your end links to aftermarket OE-style units, they will also fit provided they match the factory thread spec. If your existing links are non-standard diameter, non-OE thread, or worn with play, do not transfer them — order COR-5206906 + COR-5206904 to receive fresh, correctly-spec'd ends. Text (469) 407-7538 if you are unsure whether your existing ends are compatible. Does the upgraded stabilizer mount accept any Fox or Bilstein stabilizer?Clayton recommends Fox and Bilstein stabilizers for this application and lists compatible options in related items. Confirm the specific Fox or Bilstein stabilizer model is compatible with the included mount before purchasing. Text (469) 407-7538 for guidance on selecting the correct stabilizer for your WJ's lift height and intended use. Does this replace both the tie rod and drag link in one installation?Yes — this kit includes both bars and is designed for a complete replacement in a single installation session. Setting alignment once after both bars are installed is more efficient than installing them separately. What is the warranty?Clayton Off Road warranty terms are not confirmed in current source documentation. Contact OFAS or Clayton Off Road directly for warranty information on this product. The Obsidian Take This kit is the correct purchase for the WJ owner who has serviceable end links and wants to replace both steering bars in one session without paying for ends they don't need. It is the most efficient path to a complete Clayton 7075-T651 steering upgrade for the 1999–2004 Grand Cherokee — both bars, jam nuts, and the upgraded stabilizer mount in one box, one order, one installation. The WJ steering upgrade decision tree for Clayton products is straightforward. Starting fresh with no existing upgraded ends and wanting everything ready to bolt in: order COR-5206906 (complete tie rod with ends) and COR-5206904 (complete drag link with ends). Starting fresh but wanting just the tie rod or just the drag link bar to spec your own ends: order COR-5206921 (tie rod bar) or COR-5206911 (drag link bar). Already have serviceable OE-style end links and want both bars replaced at once: order COR-5206902 (this kit). All roads require an upgraded stabilizer and mount — COR-5206902 includes the mount, COR-5206906 requires sourcing it separately, and COR-5206904 is compatible with the factory stabilizer. The factory WJ steering stabilizer does not work with this system. Source the Fox or Bilstein stabilizer before installation day — not after. Manufacturer Data Disclaimer Product specifications and fitment data are sourced from Clayton Off Road product documentation and authorized product information. Actual product dimensions, fitment details, end link specifications, and compatibility may vary by specific vehicle configuration and manufacturer updates. Confirm end link compatibility and stabilizer selection with your specific WJ steering configuration before ordering. Non-Returnable Notice Steering components are non-returnable once installed. Confirm fitment (1999–2004 Grand Cherokee WJ), that your existing end links are serviceable and OE-spec, and that a compatible Fox or Bilstein steering stabilizer is sourced before ordering. End links are not included in this kit — if yours are worn or non-standard, order COR-5206906 and COR-5206904 instead.
