Default Clunk when turning wheel at stopped or moving.

Today my jeep started to make a clunk in the front end.
I got underneath of it and whenever I push up on the drag link I can hear/feel it pop on the passenger side. how do i go about replacing it?

Go to your favorite auto parts store and replace all your tie rod ends from pitman arm on. The tie rods are connected to the drag links tgat ho to the tires. My suggestion. Upgrade to zj tie rods
