One Piece Construction Where Two Piece Designs Fall Short

If you're running Kryptonite tie rods on your GM HD and one of the inner rods finally needs replacing, this is the exact part built to bring your steering back to full strength. Most aftermarket inner tie rods use a two piece design, and while that might work fine at first, those designs are notorious for loosening up and developing flex over time, especially once you're running larger tires or putting the truck through real off-road abuse. Kryptonite took nearly two years developing this one-piece replacement specifically to eliminate that weak point, giving you a rod that holds consistent pre-load and delivers steering response that doesn't degrade with miles. That matters whether you're crawling over rocks, towing a heavy trailer, or just want steering that feels tight mile after mile instead of getting looser every season. This inner rod is engineered to work with a stock GM centerlink, so you're not chasing down other modified centerlink components just to complete the repair. For truck owners who already trust Kryptonite's tie rod system, this replacement rod keeps that same level of durability going without introducing a weaker link back into the setup.

Precision Threading Built Specifically For Kryptonite Tie Rod Systems

The Kryptonite 10KXDI78 is a 2nd generation replacement inner tie rod engineered specifically for use with Kryptonite tie rod systems on 2001-2010 GM Silverado and Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks running a stock GM centerlink. This is a one-piece inner rod design, built to resist the loosening, flex, and premature wear commonly seen in two-piece aftermarket alternatives. The rod features a 7/8 inch shank with right-hand thread on the end that connects into the tie rod body, paired with a 3/4-16 thread on the opposite end that threads into the centerlink. This part is designed exclusively for Kryptonite tie rod systems and is not cross-compatible with OEM tie rods or tie rods from other aftermarket brands. Because Kryptonite's tie rod design has evolved over multiple generations, it's critical to confirm whether your existing Kryptonite tie rod body uses a 3/4 inch or 7/8 inch thread before ordering, since installing the wrong thread size will not work. The kit includes one Kryptonite replacement inner tie rod with 7/8 inch right-hand thread, part number 10KXDI78.
