While driving home I experienced death wobble. Upon inspection I determined the unserviceable end of the draglink was toast. So I'm gonna replace the drag link as well as the three tie rod ends and the steering shock.

So what is my best bang for the buck?

My jeep spends about 90% of it's life on the road, about 7% light trails and 3% on jack stands.
I have a 2 inch lift and 31x 10.5 tires

I'm looking at Moog oem replacement. draglink and 3 moog TRE, run about 160 from rock auto.

Stock drag link with stock V8 ZJ tie rod is the best bang for the buck and an upgrade

I followed Jim's guide but did not have luck getting the parts for the local chain stores.

I ended up ordering the parts from http://www.autopartsexpress.com/, was surprised at the quality, and saved $$.

OEM XJ vs AutoParts Express V-8 ZJ tie rod.
