Description

Cutting-Edge X24 Tech and Dual Bushings
Wear and tear isn't unusual, but we've implemented a dual PTFE bushing design to minimize it. Our cleverly engineered X24 Tech incorporates robust bushings at both ends of the rack. Therefore RackBoss 2.0 can handle larger hits and support bigger tires without any loose steering. You'll experience like-new operation that outlasts any other Defender steering rack. Plus, the integrated grease fittings allow you to remove all the debris that accumulates when you tackle muddy or watery terrains.

Swaged Tube Tie Rods
Looking for the perfect balance of strength and weight? Our steel-swaged tube tie rods will get the job done. These tie rods are designed to maximize durability without adding extra weight. The swaged design enhances the 7/8" diameter tubing. And you get unparalleled strength with 16 mm inner ball and sockets and 14 mm outer tie rod ends.

Solid Steel Bar Tie Rods
Solid steel bar tie rods give you the robust strength you need to ride through rough terrain. They're perfect for turning big tires through slop and navigating boulder fields. The 1" diameter steel rod is paired with beefy tie rod ends—3/4"outer tie rods and rebuildable inner tie rods that use 3/4" rod threads and 16 mm rack threads. All that strength lets you get wild.

Billet Aluminum Hex Tie Rods
If you want the strongest, lightest, and best-looking tie rods for your Can-Am Defender HD8, you want our billet aluminum hex tie rods. The polished billet construction is big and beefy, giving you the long-term durability you want without adding a ton of weight. They come complete with our oversized 3/4" outer tie rod ends and rebuildable inner tie rod ends that use 3/4" rod threads and 16 mm rack threads. If you’re all about the biggest builds, hardest rides, and neck-turning good looks, these are the tie rods for you.
