I know this is gonna be redundant my buddy is at the junkyard right now and I need to know quick what year the ZJ tie rods have to be out of to fit in my 99 XJ. I know they have to be v8's but other than that i dont know.
Rapid response is best please help

any v8 grand cherokee

cob24

thank you. It doesnt have to be out of the mid 90's?

cob24

And it uses the same tie rod ends as mine? Im gonna order some new ones if thats the case?

xjoffroad

never heard of the mid 90's idea. when I have my d30 i pulled the v8 steering from a 94. bolts right in. great idea on getting new TRE, i did that same years ago

leo3000

i thought it had to be a zj?

correct me if im wrong and i would also suggest using google, there should be some info on this...

xjoffroad

this is what we are talking about. grand cherokee=ZJ

hitalonit

Read the quote he says zj... and thats what the other guys talking about too

hitalonit

whoops too slow ...sorry

cob24

1999 v8 tierod or 94 v8 tierod? opinions? 99 appears to be girthier than the 94

xjoffroad

wasnt 99 the first year of the wj? dont think it would fit

cob24

ok good to know
its supposed to have a bend in it that looks

cob24

looks like this?

xjoffroad

dont know if a 99 WJ will work like the v8 zj's do. i would get what you know will work and not chance it not working from a wj

yes it will have a bend in it

cob24

thats out of a zj. Is it a straight tie rod or does it have the crook like that one did. I sent my buddy the pic cause im pretty sure the upgradedones ive seen have had that bend in it too. Im getting pretty pissed at ups cause im waiting on the part so i can drive mine again and my buddy went without me and now im stuck playing middle man
