wj tie rod on xj
hey guys im about ready to do a wj knuckle swap on my xj. i been searching on the forum and youtube but cant seem to find any post or videos. my question is, anybody know if the draglink and tie rod off a wj work? im on a budget build i know there are after market tubes for the swap but its expensive i cant afford atm😢
|
I have seen several threads about ZJ not WJ on here.
|
Wj is wider then a xj so i doubt the drag link will work.
|
WJ also uses much longer tie rod ends. Only way to know for sure is measure it.
|
you can reuse the xj linkage, it will bolt right back on the two lower arms then adjust toe & center steering wheel. i did that until i could do the whole 1 ton high steer.
|
Yeap, the stock steering will bolt to the WJ knuckles, you just won't have hi steer. You can't use the WJ tie rod, it's 5 inches too long & the tube is hollow. I suppose you could cut it down & put a sleeve over it. But never heard of anyone doing that.

Its not expensive if you get on Amazon. I have a BLOG Post on the Parts I got for my 2000XJ. Go HERE . I was going to do a better write up with pics but the job is so simple you can figure it out once you get the parts in.

thanks guys for the feed back. i did check on amazon and the price on the tube is pretty reasonable. i might as well do it right first time and spend the extra dollars😥. i have one ton steering on my jeep right now so stock linkage wont work. found this video on youtube guess this answer my question now.
