I need to order my new rod ends and I just wanted to make sure I am purchasing the right ones. It gets a little confusing. Would someone be willing to give me the part #'s from rock auto.com? Its a 1998 cherokee I6. I will be replacing the ends on the tie rod, and the ends on the drag link. Also if there is anything else i need to replace while doing the job please let me know. Thank you.

Yep you need a new adjusting sleeve for each TRE with that setup.

Total part numbers:

DS1238
2x ES2079S
DS1312
2x ES3096L

That's replacement XJ steering with ZJ tie rod. If you're ordering from Rock Auto, I'm using about half MOOG components and half Mevotech. No issues here. Mevotech TRE sleeve just made sense, it's a pretty basic part.
