I bent my tierod few months back and upgraded to the solid ZJ rod. I got the Autozone one with a lifetime warranty. I have even already bent that and just taken in and got a replacement. I bought a Rustys HD Tierod and Drag off my buddy that upgraded to a 44 . I wanted to use just the Drag since I have a lifetime replacement on my ZJ tie. Ends up It's a different setup. So my question is do I just keep my stock drag and run the unlimited free replaceable ZJ tie, or do I throw on the Rusty's Drag and tie and Keep the ZJ rod as a spare?



Thanks

 

bent a v8 zj tie rod? havent heard of that one yet. I'd just run the zj tie rod and sell the rustys stuff if you can.

 

Yea I was testing my lockers climbing a concrete storm drain thing in the rain, tire slipped off and full weight landed on the ZJ rod.

 

I'm pretty sure anythings gonna bend with that sort of thing.

 

Serious Steering FTMFW!!!

 

?

 

for the mother ****ing win

 

Let me know if you wanna sell the rustys steering I'd be interested

 

You said STAR STAR STAR STAR!!!!!!

 

Just stretchin' out the censor!

 

Not to jack the thread but what does it take to do a zj swap?

 

All you need is a zj tie rod, adjusting sleeve, and driver side tie rod end.

 

I just went to a junk yard and grabbed a used ZJ tie rod (old adjusting sleeve and all). I bought a "house parts" TRE and slapped it on there. works great except the TRE is already shot. buy MOOG

 

Ok , so I am seeing the consensus as Keep my ZJ rod and stock drag, and sell the Rustys?

Also RGibbs, it has to be a 8Cyl Zj, was $67 total at auto zone for the rod, sleeve and TRE. And all has a lifetime replacement.

 

that rusatys setup is pretty decent. ive been running mine for 9 months now and havent bent it or worn the joints out. its a little bit of a pain to align due to how the draglink bolts to the tierod.
