Post suspension and steering issues !

I have a 1998 XJ 140,000 miles. I have death wobble, and after some poking around, i found that i need a front sway bar link on each side, and pretty much all four tie rod ends. Plus an alignment and new front tires and i think that should do it.

My issue is, I CANT FIND THE RIGHT PARTS. i might just be having a bad day, but i cant seem to make sense out of anything on rockauto right now. Every other car parts ive bought off of rock auto ive been fine getting, but i cant make out what is what right now.

Can someone please give me the part numbers for these 5 parts for a 1998 Jeep cherokee sport 4.0 4x4 ?

I'm going to bum you out by saying broken sway bar links won't cause DW. They will affect the handling though.

I figured that. I know its way more than likely that the bad tie rod ends and lack of alignment plus crap tires on the front are all major contributors. I just figured since i am fixing all the other loose components, i might as well fix those too before the alignment and new tires

Just get Napa stuff... I know you're gonna pay more but you can rely on Napa at least to some extent to get it right.

The sway bar won't affect the alignment, but I get what you're saying.

1x Moog DS1312 Tie Rod
1x Moog DS1238 Drag Link
2x Moog ES3096L Short Tie Rod Ends, lefthand thread
2x Moog ES2079S Adjustment Sleeves

Presto. You now have superior steering. Some parts are from the V8 ZJ.
