Default pitman arm hole

so i have my new pitman arm installed and the hole to the rod end is alot larger than the stud of the rod end.
will a grand cherokee tie rod have a larger stud or do i need a HD rod end?

This pitman arm may not really be for an XJ

The Grand Cherokees pitman arm uses the same size tapered hole for the drag link as the XJ Cherokee. If you purchased it at a parts supplier, I would have them double check the part number to make sure it is the correct part.

i just went up to 5.5" lift and im having a swaying sensation around 60 mph. i just had an alignment done today.
i was thinking a few things:
the hole in the pitman arm being larger is causing play?
the trac bar is not properly adjusted?
the control arms are not properly ajusted?
i feel like i have alot of turn in my steering wheel and not so much actually turning at the wheel.
