steering is worn out, time to upgrade
ok so I have 1996 cherokee
5" lift coils front
3" springs, homemade shackle reloc box, 1.5" shackles (came to just under 5")
ZJ pitman arm (1" drop)
285/75/16 tires
home made track bar and frame side bracket (about 1" drop)
it is a daily driver and hits the trail, so if that matters
anyway got a little pot hole included death wobble, turns out it is the passenger side tie rod on the steering... the big long one that is all one piece
so WHAT would be a good way to go with this? I was thinking heims, cross over
