turns out i tightened the tie rod that connects to/near the hub (inner wheel), the one that connects the center link to the actual tie rod, and then the one connecting to the pitman arm. Also tightened where the stabilizer connects to the center link, and its still loose, gonna try and grease them if that doesnt help im not sure what to do

The whole drag link bar moves up and down about 3/4 of an inch maybe more. From the drag link all the way to the pitman arm. (The whole bar)

Yea it's getting fixed asap. I greased near the fitting near the hub and grease just came out. The rubber grommet thing is shot what are these called and where cAn I get them? They are bushings right? I cant find any online. Im gonna go ahead and get the bushing for the pitman arm and the part inside the wheel/hub

No need to replaced the entire link but search "ZJ tie rod" if you feel like upgrading.
These are the bushing (#9.131.3G, ignore the pic on their site) that you needed.

t's like a $20 part at auto zone and you can do it yourself. just remeber to count the # of time you trun to unthread so you can rethread backinto same position. then its alignement time but that will get you there without wearing your tires out in 100 miles.

No it has too much play. I hear it clunking like once every 2 or 3 seconds when driving there's no way it's supposed to have this much play
