this is correct. thats why that sleeve confussed me looking at that pic. you do still need to adjust the driver side TRE though.

 

Here are the Autozone part numbers that you need if you wish to purchase the upgrade new.

Tie rod Left inner #DS1312
Adjusting Sleeve #ES2079S
Tie rod Left outer #ES3096

Total online was $67. Hope this helps.

 

That makes sense, Thanks!

 

just pulled the parts from the junk yard. Got the tie rod and the drag link. no tie rod ends, what should i replace. I got the es3096, but not ds1312, they said es3096. Thoughts?

There are two adjusting sleeves as well. Which one is that number for?

 

the draglinks are the same on a xj and zj.

 

that woulda saved me ten bucks. Im gonna swap the whole thing out anyways cause Im having some steering issues after I banged my old tierod on a rock at tahuya.

 

really? have any proof of this? never heard this before and am curious

 

they look really similar now that i have them both here. My xj tierod has two tierod ends, but the zj one has the tie rod end on the tire side and a fixed end on the draglink side. Is that right? Im gonna be pissed if i f'd this up cause the guy at the wrecking yard tried to rip me off big time and there is no way Im getting my money back from him

 

all right, did a search and found a pic of the tierod i got installed on an xj. Autozone doesnt sell the grease boots though, does anyone know where I can get one of them?

Also I have a tie rod with one fixed side and on the other side a double adjustment sleeve and a tierod end. Then the drag link has a fixed side that goes to the wheel and another double adjustment sleeve and a tie rod end. What should I replace? Both sleeves and both tie rod ends? And which part goes to which sppot?

 

the ds part number is for the whole tie rod also. I all ready have the tie rod. Anyone else know what rod ends I will need for the drag link and for the tie rod?

 

the zj's with the v8 tie rod do have the weird bend in it. the zj's with the inline 6 look just like the ones on an xj.

 

yeah i got the v8 tie rod. Haaving some confusion with the replacement end though, and the end for the draglink too
