If the Bronco has a known weak spot, it’s the steering system. Factory tie rods on many models can fail with surprising ease. Upgrading to heavy-duty tie rods is a smart first step—right up until the tie rod becomes stronger than the steering rack itself. At that point, the rack housing and internal shaft see increased load and deflection that can lead to damage. The TeraFlex Bronco Steering Rack Support Bushing Kit is a simple, affordable, and highly effective solution for protecting the steering rack when heavy-duty tie rods are installed. Our Bronze Oil-Lite bushing supports the rack shaft to reduce load deflection, helping prevent rack gear damage under large tires, added steering load, and off-road use. TeraFlex includes this bushing kit with all our Heavy-Duty Wear-Adjustable Bronco Tie Rods, but owners running another brand of after-market tie rod that did not include a rack-support upgrade bushing—can now add this critical protection as a stand-alone kit. The kit includes a bronze composite Oil-Lite bushing, a steering-rack boot clamp, and a snap ring to secure the bushing in place. “Oil-Lite” refers to a self-lubricating process where oil is impregnated into a porous bronze bushing, providing maintenance-free lubrication and support. Most 2023 and earlier Broncos commonly require the support bushing. Some newer models may also need it, though factory inclusion varies by build. Note: HOSS 3.0 racks do not require this upgrade. Fitment Notes: • Bronze Oil-Lite bushing adds critical support to reduce steering-rack shaft deflection • Protects the rack when heavy-duty tie rods increase steering load • Prevents steering-gear damage under large tires and off-road stress • Ideal for Broncos running non-TeraFlex HD tie rods without built-in rack support • Self-lubricating bushing offers maintenance-free operation • Includes boot clamp and snap ring for secure installation • Affordable, high-value upgrade for steering system longevity

TeraFlex Full Suspension Systems
TeraFlex full suspension systems are complete, engineered lift solutions built specifically for vehicle. Rather than a simple spring-and-spacer lift, each system is designed as a matched package: progressive-rate coil springs, tuned shocks, control arms, track bars, sway bar links, and the brackets and hardware needed to keep geometry correct at the new ride height. The result is added ground clearance and room for larger tires without sacrificing on-road manners.
Falcon Shocks by TeraFlex
Falcon Shocks are TeraFlex’s performance shock line, engineered from the ground up for specifically for your application. Each shock is a high pressure monotube design with a large diameter body, hard-chrome piston rod, and application-specific valving tuned to the weight, geometry, and suspension travel of the vehicle it’s built for—so the damping is right out of the box, whether your ride is stock height or lifted.
The lineup scales with how you drive. Entry-level monotubes sharpen control and comfort for daily driving and light trails, mid-tier models add larger bodies and more oil capacity for sustained off-road use, and top-of-the-range piggyback-reservoir shocks offer tool-free adjustable damping—plush for the highway, firm for towing, and full performance for desert and rock terrain.
TeraFlex Brake Kits
Bigger tires and added weight overwhelm factory brakes, so TeraFlex brake kits are engineered to restore and improve stopping power on lifted Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models. The lineup ranges from bolt-on performance rotor and pad upgrades to complete big brake kits with oversized rotors, high-capacity calipers, and platform-specific brackets for greater clamping force and heat dissipation—plus extended braided stainless brake lines for lifted, long-travel suspensions. Every kit installs without cutting or fabrication and is built to handle off-road abuse, giving you stopping performance that matches your build, whether you’re on 35s or 40s.
