Got a 90XJ and was curious if someone could answer a steering question. What years of xj's can you swap the track bar, adjusting sleeves, tie rods on? I got side swiped and the lower aduster rod got bent so I figured it would be easier to pull all from tie rod to tie rod just to replace the rest. So if I could grab these components from like a newer model with less mileage, rock on you know. I appreciate the help.

 

any XJ

 

I'm pretty sure the fronts are all the same til you get after 99-2000. But I could be wrong.

I know somewhere towards the end of the 90s they stopped putting the HP D30 up front and used a regular pinion D30.

 

Cool. I checked the junkyard swap list but didnt see anything on the slleves or bar. So up to 2000 or then measure i guess.

 

According to 89eliminator any XJ will fit, so the front axle shouldn't matter.

 

i have a drag link sitting in my shed you can have if you need that. $20 + shipping

 

go for the v8 zj upgrade.

 

any XJ steering will fit, and they switched form HP dana 30 to a low pinion dana 30 in 2000, steering knuckles remained the same.

might i suggest that you get the steering setup form a Grand cherokee V8 4x4 93-98. the steering is beefier and has an adjuster sleeve vs the entire rod turning

 

Interested in the drag link but want to hear more on the zj upgade. Full easy swap out on that? Or tougher conversion?

 

the v8 ZJ tie rod (and only the tie rod) is bigger diameter and solid instead of hollow. All the other steering components are identical to your XJ. It drops right in.

 

I do already have a durango steering box just for extra beef. So a 98 v8 jz setup swaps in huh?...Hmm...

 

Ok that sounds good. Preciate the help.

 

yep the V8 ZJ is a nice swap. if you can weld its also a good time to flip the tie rod

i have the ZJ swap pushing my 35" mudders for the lat 3 years and no issues (yet)

 

Saved the link. Preciate it again. Sounds like thats my coming weekend plans. But then again I can roll on again.
