What parts to replace to rehab '97 Cherokee front end?
Background: We have a '97 Cherokee with 202,000 miles. It is in really good shape for it's age. I put new General Grabber AT tires on at 167,000... so 35,000 miles. Getting new tires as old ones have worn unevenly.
Question: What parts should I replace on the front end to get better wear out of the front tires, and to avoid a shimmy out of the front end. I just bought a Chevy Silverado 2500HD and replaced basically the entire front end... wondering what's recommended for the Cherokee?
Thanks!

To stop the vibration on mine with similar miles, I replaced the Track Bar and Main Steering draglink with its tie rod end
I that is what cured it
As I lifted mine 2", I bought an adjustable track bar, and also fitted adjustable LCA. I have adjustable UCA to fit, as the bushes are worn. Stock parts would have been ok at that height
I replaced the sway bar bushes and bumpstops as they were obviously worn
I did not replace shocks, steering stabiliser, ***** joints, outer tie rod ends, uni joints, wheel hub units
I do not know how long they have been in there. There was no evidence of wear. New replacement parts are not always better than an older part that is still ok
