Tie rod upgrade
 
Ok so I have a 98 cherokee 4.0 5 speed and I've upgraded the tie rods because the the right side wheel bearing went to hell and was shaking real bad. I replaced the hub and axle while I was at it and put tie rods off a grand cherokee on it. The real question I have is how much of a pain will it be for me to line up the front end and also what could cause it to have play in the brake calipers? Any info would be great, thank you

Alignment should be easy.

Measure from a GOOD reference spot on the rear tires. Try and get the same measurement in the front.

Or, if you haven't taken the front apart yet, measure spacing where its at, and use that same measurement in the same spot when your done.

I'm thinking its the slides because I can feel it in the steering wheel and I've it lined up the best I could its with in 3/16 of being dead on
