Yes, the sleeve and the entire bar because it is hollow. Get a dent in that bar and it will bend or fold.

 

Is this for the tie rod or drag link????

Seems like everyone is confusing the two

for those of you who don't know the difference

I need a new tie rod, so just curious if this is going to work, and not be a DRAG LINK replacement

thanks

 

It's for the tie Rod...

 

thanks my man!

 

Sorry I'm kind of new and I just picked up a 98 Cherokee yesterday that has some issues so I'm trying to sort them out quickly. I was able to wiggle the divers side wheel side to side quite a bit and luckily stumbled into this thread right before I ordered all of my parts.

Just to confirm (for my peace of mind) are these the parts I need




------------



I see in the catalog that two of (A) are needed, but are two required for this upgrade on a '98 XJ?

I also this there are three main components needed for this swap, so would I be correct in thinking (D) is the one I don't need?

Sorry for the noob questions. I've only managed an oil change and replacing the "check engine" bulb (turns out it was indeed on) in the gauge cluster in the first 24 hours of ownership. Kind of in a rush since we can't register cars without inspection now so I guess I can't own the car until I get it fixed. I've never owned a non-Asian car and needed to buy something to daily while the RX7 is down for another motor. Thanks for any and all help.

 

Just go to AutoZone and get the parts for a mid 90's V-8 GC, their best line (they are made by Moog) under $100.

 

Just got back from Autozone and they only had Duralast and some Econo brand. I'll just order Raysbestos stuff online, I don't mind paying a bit more honestly. Thank you though!

Could you by chance tell me which of those 4 listed I don't need? I'm new to Jeeps, hell I'm new to trucks and American cars so these suspensions are something I'm going to have a lot to learn about. It's a bit more complicated than the simple double A-arm setup of my RX7.

PS is that a Fairmont in your avatar?

 

Amazon is a really really ****ty car parts website, there is no application guide or part info other than the year/make/model thing. Nobody cares about the company history...

Anyway I can't tell you if THOSE are THE RIGHT parts, but it does look like you specced out the ENTIRE steering setup. You do not need the drag link - which is what 410-1061 is - nor the connected TRE and adjusting sleeve. You can buy everything if you need to do your entire steering anyway, but only the straight tie rod, one short TRE, and one adjusting sleeve are actually required.

 

I agree. I actually went through the Raybestos website, but their sight was somewhat hard to navigate as the applications were on a un-linkable pop out page, had the 4.0 and 5.2 mixed up as well as the quality (Professional or Service grades) I guess, and had no pictures. So I just made up an Excel spreadsheet to find all of the professional 5.2 part numbers and have them organized to make my question the easiest to present. I tried my best and knew it was still inconvenient, but had hopes that someone would still help me sort it out if I made it a bit less troublesome.

I'll go ahead and order those and add that to my list of shocks, motor/trans mounts, tires, P0500, P700, P0753, P0705, fixing dash lights, (now that I've fixed the check engine light bulb) so I have a lot to learn in the next couple weeks. Thank you for saving me a little bit of time!

*UPDATE* Wound up just ordering everything 6 items total. Came out to $227.99 ($246.80 with Texas sales tax). Thank you for your help!

 

I know this is an old tread, but i don't wanna start a new one for my question.
Will this upgrade can be reasonable for my jeep considering is a 2WD and stock?
I'm needing to overhaul my front end and i'm looking for something solid. With the roads in Puerto Rico being covered with craters and what not is almost like offroading everyday!

 

If you're replacing the tie rod anyway, I'd say go ahead and upgrade, it's a huge difference from the stock rod.

 

Yep, absolutely. Great upgrade for the same price as stock XJ components.

 

Does anyone think a stock XJ, whose steering components are NOT worn out, should get this upgrade?

 

If it's wheeled, sure. Otherwise there's no reason. It'd be like putting drilled rotors and racing brake pads on your great aunt's car who only drives it to book club and the grocery store

 

Nope, never wheeled. Even if it were to go off road, it'd probably only be dirt roads. So I guess I'll keep my stock setup until I need otherwise. Thanks
