I'm needing help

[chuck2000xj]

Ok everyone.....I need some help. I'm not sure if this should be in the OEM section or the Modified section. Please excuse my ignorance. I work with a guy that used to have a '97 Wrangler. He doesn't have it anymore but he said he had a box with brand new parts that I could have. In the box there is track bar, box that has 2 Moog tie rod ends, another part that looks like a tie rod end but has a ball-like joint in it, and 2 different types of Moog ball joints (there are part numbers on these and looked them up). I can provide part numbers if I need to, but can anyone help me with whether these will fit on my XJ and if I should even bother? Thanks!!

The answers to this should be interesting. You may have some luck.

Yeah post up the part numbers when you get a chance. But all tie rod ends, ball joints, and steering hardware from a TJ will work on a XJ. I will have to do some research on the track bar to see if it will fit.

TAKE THEM!! Even if they don't fit yours you could re-sell them to fund some other mod.

[bigjim350]

Okay, if the track bar is for the front of the TJ, it will also be the same as the one in your XJ

+1 ^^ You always take good parts!! they are great for projects like making extra cash! Thats my favorite project anyway lol

Ok here are the part numbers I have:
Ball joint K7208T
Ball joint K3161T (I have 2 of both of them. Do I need 2 of both?)
Tie rod end ES3094L (2 of these)
Tie rod end ES3095R
And a track bar with no numbers.

[bigjim350]

K7208T are Upper ball joints for a D30, but are not standard replacement ones, they are adjustable
K3161T are D30 lower ball joints
ES33094L-Outer Tie Rod End - Driver Side - 4.0L
ES3095R-Tie Rod End At Passenger Side Connecting Tie Rod - 4.0L
Track bar is same as XJ if its for the front.

Thanks for the question, it made for some fun research

[chuck2000xj]

Thanks guys!! So stupid question but these would be upgrades to all the stock parts I have? I have no idea how to even go about changing these out.

[bluedragon436]

K7208T - Upper Ball Joint - You have 2 of them on your XJ
K3161T - Lower Ball Joint - You have 2 of them on you XJ

ES3094L & ES3095R Will both fit your XJ as well as the above Ball Joints.. according to AutoZone.. So I would def. go for them all... as well as the track bar.. is it an adj. trac bar or just an old stock trac bar?? Either way I would go for getting all of the parts.. as all the parts will work with your XJ..

[bluedragon436]

Here (http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5901) is a thread Tony posted recently for the replacement of your ball joints.. I would recommend replacing both upper and lower on both sides if you can.. especially if they need to be done... is there anything missing... as far as??

[chuck2000xj]

The track bar is not adjustable. Given this list of parts is there anything I'm missing? Not bad for free though huh?

[chuck2000xj]

Bluedragon I don't see a link...

[chuck2000xj]

I see the link now. Sorry

[chuck2000xj]

Parts missing... I know a new tie rod would be great.... But to put these parts on is there anything else I need?

[chuck2000xj]

Anyone have a good link on replacing the tie rod ends?

Assuming they both the TJ and XJ have the same lift.
