I have a clunk when I put my jeep into drive and reverse, when I let off the gas or give it gas when cruising down the road there is clunking... Would this be my transfer case? I am thinking about rebuilding it next summer when I do my sye... Are they hard to rebuild... About how much for parts

I've been searching for this for a while, but can't find clean info...
I've got a 98 Cherokee SE, want to make sure I'm gettin' the right stuff to do the V8 ZJ tie rod upgrade.
These 3 are in my cart on Amazon:
other questions...
- I'm finding conflicting information and some people seem to have bought DS1238 https://www.amazon.com/Moog-DS1238-T.../dp/B000C5402M . Is this what I should be getting instead. Again I'm after the beefier ZJ version.
- do I need to get some grease and grease up the inside of the sleeves?
thank you in advance

Nominated.
No abs could mean either, actually. The only "definite" in that equation is that if yours came from the factory WITH ABS, it also came WITH a D35. All bets are off if it didn't.

So got some serious death wobble lately, and both my wheel hubs are a bit rough sounding and have some pretty good play. Doing some research it seems the the Goto brand is Timkin because it is good quality yet cheap, other than that Moog is better but pricy. When I check autozone, the timkens are $100 each! Yet, timkens on rock auto are $70, the moogs are $80. I'm guessing prices on timkens went up? Should I just throw down the extra $20 and get two moogs instead?
