Default HD tie rod and Drag linkage

Well since my new to me cherokee has to have evey ball joint in the steering replaced I figured I would try to up grade alittle. Now quick history.

2000 Cherokee Freedom 4 Inch Procomp lift, and 33" BFG's. All steering ball joints are dead. Cherokee will be 80% on road 20% off road and never really hardcore wheeled.


I plan on getting an adjustible track bar. So all I ned to replace is the Tire rod and Drag link and assoicted ball joints.

Would it be better to get a complete kit to replace all these parts? I fount this Kit for under $200 from Thejeep.com. Has any one used this kit? Do you have any recommandations for other kits? Please help I need this thing fixed so I can drive on the free way wioth out fearing for my life...

Thanks in advanced.

stay away from rusty's steering components. i think jks makes a good tracbar. you could always do the currie hd steering, or a whole system. depends on how much your willing to spend.

Cheap ball joints are just that....cheap!! Buy the good ones if you want the repair to last!! NAPA Premium is the water mark for XJ ball joints, from what I've heard!! HTH!!
