tighten up front end

Hey everyone.. I have a 2000 XJ and wanted to know if anyone has any ideas of kits of bushings and anything I can buy to tighten up the front end of this thing? Everything seems to be blown out and leaking so I wasnt sure if there is a kit I can buy to just swap everything out? Thanks in advance.

STOP! Time to lift it. If everything is worn out, then a lift kit will replace most of those parts at just a bit more money. To answer your initial question, no OEM replacement kits that I know of.

You can buy the individual parts if you want to keep it stock. There are not -that- many components.
Also you might want to look into the ZJ tie rod swap. A lot of folks recommend it.

control arm bushings
sway bar bushings
endlinks/bushings
trackbar
tierods
balljoints
wheel/hub bearings
steering shaft
steering box
steering box brace
steering stabilizer/damper

Take your pick. They all play a part in keeping things tight.
