steering question
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.

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.

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.
