Umm the tie rod ends are under the knuckle from the factory..... Having the correct sway bar links and an upgraded tie rod should be more important than flipping it.

Maybe this post should of been in chat but cut him some slack. I think he is just proud of the work he did to his XJ.

Is it needed? Not really. I remember being proud as **** after doing my first real repair on my vehicle. Hell I could be way off base. This guy could be a 30+ year mechanic I don't know lol. What happened to common courtesy? We all love XJs

I run Amsoil Severe Gear. Never had a problem with it... Lasts 3x as long as the regular stuff (unless you are submerging it frequently of course). The ARB likes it.

I'm sure the regular old stuff will do the trick for ya.
