A direct replacement extreme duty Tie Rod and Drag Link assembly to replace your underperforming OE steering. Oversized tie rod and drag link ends, connected by massive DOM Steel adjusting sleeves, eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeves are replaced via tie rod and drag link ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and our proprietary ninja lock-washers and our New ProLock washers.

This will change the way your vehicle drives forever!

What It Fits:

  • Ford F250 Super Duty (2017-2025) 4WD (except wide track)
  • Ford F350 Super Duty (2017-2025) 4WD (except wide track)

Fitment Notes:

  • Dual Steering Stabilizers - Due to our tie rod ends being 1/8 inch larger in diameter than OE, modifications may need to be made to dual stabilizer kit, tie rod end brackets to fit.
  • BDS Trackbar - Our drag link is not compatible with the BDS Adjustable Trackbar as the adjuster sleeve on the BDS unit will contact the Apex drag link in operation.
  • High Mount Steering Stabilizer - Must be mounted in OE position at taper hole in pitman arm side drag link end. We recommend OE style stabilizers from Fox (Part 985-24-001) and Carli (not through shaft stabilizers such as Fox ATS).
  • Not Compatible With Wide Track

The Special Sauce:

  • Housing
    • SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
    • CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
  • Ball Studs
    • SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
    • Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
    • Rolled Threads: Made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
    • Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
  • Bearing Design
    • Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing
  • Boots
    • CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
    • Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.
  • Finish
    • Polished Aluminum: Highly polished, raw aluminum
    • Black Aluminum and DOM Steel: Powder coated black
  • Hardware
    • Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
    • Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
  • Adjusting Rods
    • Tie Rod: 2.125 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
    • Drag Link: 1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
    • Tie Rod: 2.125 inch 7075-T6 Aluminum Rod: The best aluminum available for this application. Extremely durable but has some flex and memory if you really bash it into something.
    • Drag Link: 1.75 inch 7075-T6 Aluminum Rod: The best aluminum available for this application. Extremely durable but has some flex and memory if you really bash it into something.
  • Lubrication
    • Pre Threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
    • Greaseable: Because it should be.
    • Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
    • Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
    • Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

Special Features:

  • ProLock Link Connect System (TM): Exclusively from APEX - This patent pending system utilizes a precision keyway cut into the threads of our tie rod and drag link ends, and a pre-bent keyway washer that locks onto the wrench flats of the connecting rod to completely stop any tie rod rotation once the jam nut is set. The jam nut, once torqued to spec, is then locked in place with 3 set-screws inset into the jam nut.
  • Pre Bent Ninja Washers (tm): An APEX exclusive is our Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps.
  • And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end!
  • Reversible Drag Link: Another APEX Innovation: In some lifted or aftermarket applications the pitman arm end of the drag link is flipped over causing difficulties with mounting the steering stabilizer into the tapered hole on the drag link end. To solve this we have drilled the hole out straight and provided a reversible stainless steel taper sleeve so the steering stabilizer can be mounted from either side.
  • Greaseable, High Articulation Spherical Bushing: For extreme durability our passenger side tie rod is fitted with an oversized greaseable high articulation spherical bushing. This allows for maximum articulation and load disbursement, for better performance, and longer life.
  • Minimum Engagement Mark on Drag Link End Threads: If this mark in the thread of the drag link is showing it means you are beyond the safe engagement of threads into the adjusting sleeve. You may be lifted too high and need to switch to a flip kit or you may need to equal out the adjusting sleeve between the two ends.

Great replacement to my older 5.1 Yamaha receiver.
Style: 7.2 Receiver
Great replacement for an older Yamaha. My previous unit lasted 10 years and I see no reason why this new one wont last another 10. Familiar features and setup to other Yamaha receivers. Zero issues with setup and contrary to others, you can use all the features without the app. While the app does add some features for streaming, the unit is fully usable as a receiver for movies, surround, etc. without the app. Overall the sound improvement is spectacular, the high slew rate really makes a difference and DSP much improved over the older 10 year old unit I had. Solid hardware, solid setup and while I'm not about Brand Loyalty, the Yamaha still had better features, reviews and quality than the other major brands. I would have no issue recommending this to unit to anyone. Remember, these units are about the sound they offer, not the the wiz bang features you see in some other units. Reliable hardware, reliable sound and a rich feature set makes this unit a no brainer.

Great receiver for money!
Style: 7.2 Receiver
I got this to replace my lackluster Onkyo TX-NR6050 I purchased from Costco. Three areas stand out for me with the Yamaha receiver: 1: Audio, movies sound great, dialogue is clear. Action scenes are impactful and dynamic. 2: Picture quality, bright, vibrant and beautiful colors from my PC and from my Firestick. 3: Ease of use, out of the box ready to go. Menu is dated (no gui really just an overlay, which is fine by me). Renaming inputs, adjusting speaker settings and setting EQ preferences super easy. Took about 20-25 minutes to fully setup. In those 20-25 minutes I was already way ahead of the Onkyo. Great value for the price! Volume is very easy to set! Still have to test PS5 performance, Bluetooth connectivity, USB settings, WiFi and a few other items. I’ll probably end up buying a Blu-ray player since this was so easy to setup! Or maybe use my PS5/Xbox One :)

Solid 2 Zone Receiver / Amplifier - Excellent video and Audio
Style: 7.2 Receiver
I purchased this Yamaha to replace the 10YO previous version that no longer decoded SiriusXM. This new clean front panel design and much improved remote control are easy to use once installed. I have to say the only complexity I have run into is connecting 3 smart devices together - NVIDIA Shield PRO Streaming Box, RX V6A Receiver and LG OLED TV via HDMI chain from Streaming to Receiver to TV with no audio or video passing through the TV first. The only issues that result is getting all 3 to play nicely when switching on and off via a single (NVIDIA) remote control. It is nothing short of fantastic to be able to have such a simple remote control all three devices for the most common functions. Only specialty settings require a specific remote. However it becomes an issue of chicken or egg - as control messages to go on or off are carried by HDMI and the power sequence becomes complex - with options to turn on or off IF ... THEN... for all 3! Otherwise the receiver has been a dream to finally restore sound to several rooms in our home from SIriusXM and now several other sources as well, I'm thrilled with the features, new MusiCast control and ease of operation once installed and properly paired for single remote operation. I plan to have this around another 10 years and enjoye the excellent 4K video upscaled by the NVIDIA device and handled beautifully by the receiver to drive the TV in rich color and great 5 Channel Sound.

A great A/V receiver at a great price. Too bad Amazon Customer support is horrible.
Style: 7.2 Receiver, Style: 7.2 Receiver
Pros, 1. A 7.2 channel A/V receiver that can do 5.1.2 Atmos. It also support DTS-X as well. 2. 200 watts total power. Don't let that fool you. It powers my 5.1.2 speaker setup far better than my previous Onkyo TX-NR5100 that's supposed to 80 watts per channel. Also sounds a lot better and clearer. 3. 7 HMDI inputs and 1 HDMI eARC output that support 8k/60hz and 4k/120hz with Dolby Vision. Additional speaker inputs for extra zones for run into other room. 4. Uses banana plugs for easy installation. 5. Has both WIFI and Bluetooth. Also includes an AM/FM antenna as well as a speaker calibration mic. 6. Has two RCA subwoofer input jacks for dual sub units. 7. Very well built and very sturdy unit. Looks very nice. 8. Includes an extremely nice remove control. Cons, 1. It's not the easiest to setup nor the most user friendly. Once setup you should be good, but it's a matter of the learning curves. 2. Make sure you get the latest firmware. You may get unlucky, get an older unit, wonder where all the features are at and why they're not available. 3. Lastly Amazon customer support is utterly horrible and useless. I order this produce and later that day they offered a discount. I called up customer support for a price match and THEY REFUSED TO DO IT!!!! I ended up canceling the order and reordering at the better price and Amazon ended up losing money because they were getting ready to ship the first order. LEARN TO PRICE MATCH LIKE YOUR COMPETITION!!!!!!!! I have this hooked up to my computer for movies and gaming, it works great because of the 120hz pass through. Other than horrible customer support the receiver is great and otherwise I'd have rated it a 5 star. I took one star for the customer support.
