Im looking to replace all my steering and I just got rough countrys heavy duty tie rod and Im having trouble finding new tie rod ends and Its really confusing me with the whole inner outer crap and left hand thread right hand thread as well I have a 96 xj but Im clueless with tie rods. Please helllp me lol.

 

You know what I recommend? I recommend the XJ tie rod setup from a V8 ZJ. This setup doesn't have you using the dinky tie rod ends from the XJ with the beefy piece of metal, and it has a better adjustment sleeve.

 

What he said TWICE!

 

Anyone happen to know the part numbers for a 1996 xjs Tie rod ends?

 

Just buy a set from a mid 90 V-8 Grand Cherokee direct boil-in and many times stronger than stock. Many run them instead of aftermarket HD steering upgrade for off road and large tires, myself included. These make the stock XJ ones look like Tinker Toys.


I bought mine at AutoZone their brand (its Moog) for < $100 all 3 pcs. long tie rod, short tie rod end and sleeve.

 

I got all my three pieces under a commercial account at Advance Auto Parts for $68.

Way worth it to use the V8 ZJ tie rod.
