Well my shop wrench bender looked at jeep cause he worked at a local shop that works mainly on jeeps and he said 4 tres bars sleeves and track bar also said not worth fixing. Diff subject real quick I am ordering the door parts from my jeep dealer afor mentioned in a service bulliton so I will post how that goes.So any ways he told me to dump my piece o jeep an find something else so who knows I just need to find cheap parts and make wife happy cause shes pissed that our jeep needs so much work already.

Every Jeep always needs work... Welcome to the world of Jeep...

Anywhoooo...Do it yourself! Replacing the steering linkage assembly is easy, and the track bar is just as simple. All you have to do is get it close, and then all you're out is what it cost for parts, your time, and an alignment.

And X2 on what Wicked said...

OK...To be simple, bushings and TRE's wear out. It happens on every car, sooner or later... To dump the XJ just for that? That's nuts... That is a driveway fix, with an alignment after. Nothing special....
