Default ZJ Tie Rod Identification

I found two Grand Cherokees at a local junk yard. I'm looking to do the tie rid upgrade on my XJ, but can't tell if these Grabd Cherokees have the upgraded tie bar. Engines and badges are pretty much gone.

Bro.
Just get one from advance auto.
You can usually get a coupon and get a brand new one for like 40-50 bucks, with a warranty.

Ive bought 4 of the cheaper brands (driveworks iirc) and never had an issue.

Thanks a bunch. I am still weighing pulling the one from the junk yard against buying it new. Do I need a new "drag link". At least I think that is what it is called.

not the zj and xj share the same front setup you should be able to use your stock drag link as long at the ends are in good shape.
