Default Tie Rod Question

Hello, I need to replace my tie rods and adjusting sleeve (From center link to left wheel). I was wondering if anyone knows the part numbers I need. I got two new tie rod ends and a new adjusting sleeve (34 inch one), but I think one of the tie rod ends is the wrong one. I can get one of them in the sleeve, but I cant for the life of me get the other one to screw into the sleeve.

Thanks!

You never said what you have an XJ or a ZJ or a WJ and what year. You need to offer us that much info if you want part numbers.

You have 2 of the same thread tie rod ends. Look at the stamping in the end.

Evocolli just head over to napa or another parts store and buy the parts. They will have the part# on their little computer. Just make sure you get Moog.

One should be right hand threads and the other should be left hand threads. They are not interchangable.
