How do i know what tie rod ends to buy?
 

Hey guys! New here, came from jeep forum but the app was getting way to buggy so I'm trying this one

I have a 1999 jeep Cherokee 4.0 4x4 aw4. It has a 4" lift and 33" tires. I bought it about 2 weeks ago.

I started having a slight death wobble problem
about a week ago so I started checking out some of the tie rod ends, I found out the drivers side outer and the pitman arm tie rod both have a little up and down play.

So I bought some "moog' factory replacement tie rod ends and they didn't even come close to fitting. I believe I have some heavy duty steering upgrade or a 1 ton upgrade, not sure. I don't know much about steering yet.

How to I figure out which tie rod ends to buy? If you need any more information, just ask. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

For some reason it won't let me upload more than one picture at a time.

Drivers side

Bad picture of the pitman arm

Whole set up plz.

There I uploaded 4 pictures, can you see them all?

moog 3096 l or moog 3095 r.. r should be drivers cant see passenger pic.

The 3096L is the stock replacement one. It didn't fit, the threads were way to big. Does it matter that the 3095R says its for the right inner side? Or will it work for the pitman arm and the left side that I need?

There are strange things going on in the first picture, post #2.
Swaybar mount on axle is bent, swaybar has an excessive outward angle. Lower control arm looks like it also has excessive sideways angle. And jeep is missing bumpstops that fit the lift, the stops go inside the coil springs and mount to coil bucket.

Yeah I noticed the bent sway bar mount. I'll get to bending that back some other time. are bump stops important? I'm not really using this jeep for rock crawling or anything, just little trails and silver lake sand dunes.

No passenger side pic

3096l is grand cherokee v8 replacement if yours are smaller use stock xj one
