Nah, that'll do.

The end that connects from drag link to the adjusting sleeve is long. Like the whole tie rod long. The other end is more like a normal TRE.

You'll see when you get em. It's a lot like the drag link is.

I don't need to replace that other link that goes to the driver wheel? Just the tie rod?

I tried finding pics.

But it'll be three parts.

Tie rod end passenger side, long one

Adjusting sleeve

tie rod driver side, like a normal tie rod end

I don't know how soon you're wanting to do this but I may have a good one I snatched from the JY you could have. I'd just have to check tonight. All my parts, tools etc stay at my dads lol.

Well got all the new tie rods put on and my alignment is definitely way out. So I'm taking it to the shop to get aligned. I'm hoping it fixes my death wobble...I'm not holding my breath on it tho

Have you tires been balanced? If after you check the bar its still there, I'd look into the tires. If you had them done take em back and tell em they need re-done, better. So you can rule those out.

I have also noticed the driver side upper control arm on the axle side is a little lower than the passenger side. So I'm wondering if the bushing in that one is shot

hello im from greenville oh and love haspin been going there for 2 years now (so let me know when ur planing a trip i will be there) planing a trip memorial day weekend but anyways ur question if u have checked the steering which look like u upgraded and looked at the track bar both ends though there is a bushing kit for axle end here (http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...FTSVMgodTQIArw) would be worth it for the price.

so all that is left to check is the control arm bushings witch i prefer daystar great product never had any trouble with them and napa can order them locally if u would rather go that route but here is a link (http://www.quadratec.com/products/76158_84X_PG.htm)

Yup. Got it drilled larger but I kinda made the front hole a little too big and still wobbled so I'm going to get a washer welded on
