TRQ Front Steering Kit Rack & Pinion Bellow Tie Rod for 2013-18 Ram

In this review the TRQ Front Steering Kit is evaluated as a direct OE replacement for 2013-18 Ram 1500 owners who need a complete front steering refresh. The bottom line: this 6-piece kit is for DIYers and professional mechanics who want a straightforward, vehicle-specific rebuild of the steering rack area without modifying factory components. The kit's main selling point is that it supplies both inner and outer tie rods plus rack bellows in one set, which simplifies repair and helps restore road feel and handling.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to replace factory parts without modifications so installation is straightforward for those who follow vehicle-specific fitment notes.
• Complete 6-Piece Kit: Includes two inner tie rods, two outer tie rods, and two steering rack bellows to address the common wear points in a single purchase.
• OE Replacement Quality: Built as an aftermarket OE-style replacement to restore steering performance and maintain factory geometry.
• Anti-Corrosion Coating: Components are coated to resist surface corrosion and extend service life in road conditions that expose parts to salt and moisture.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Replacing the matched components together improves road feel and handling compared with swapping only one side.

Who It's For

The TRQ steering kit is aimed at Ram 1500 owners (model years 2013 through 2018) who need a reliable, all-in-one steering rack and tie rod repair. It suits DIY mechanics with basic steering experience who prefer to replace components in matched sets, and it is also handy for independent shops doing front-end jobs where time and parts coordination matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of different Ram model years or vehicles outside the listed fitment, and drivers seeking OEM-branded units with original manufacturer warranty language; this is an aftermarket OE-style option rather than a factory-branded part.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and finish reported by users, making installation easier and more predictable than generic parts.
• Comprehensive kit replaces both inner and outer tie rods plus bellows, reducing the need for separate orders.
• Anti-corrosion coating and OE replacement design contribute to a longer useful life and restored steering feel.

Cons

• Some customers reported questions about long-term durability of tie rod components compared with heavier-duty OEM units, so heavy-duty use may wear faster.
