Default Zj tie rod question

Okay before you post "use the search function!" I know what I need i've searched (btw mobile app search doesn't work) but was just curious if I could use an adjuster sleeve off a stock drag link and the end off a stock drag link then just buy a new tie rod.

You will need all three parts from the v8 zj for it to fit your xj.

So you know that the adjusting sleeve from a drag link doesn't fit the tie rod?

It might work but to me it looks like the drag link adjuster is alittle bit shorter then the ZJ adjuster. i bought that adjuster brand new from napa and it was around $25. not to bad and i know for a fact its the right one

Yeah I guess I could try it. And if it is short I might be able to extend it a little.
