    Moving Drag Link Position On Knuckle With Crossover Steering

    Maybe this applies to more JKs than TJs, but for crossover steering setups, what measurements matter in regards to the location where the drag link mounts to the knuckle? I know the distance between the mounting point and the steering inclination axis will affect the steering rate, but what...

    Rear differential problem or other?

    Hey Jeepers. 2005 Rubicon TJ, Auto w/ 152k. Here is my issue: Lately I've been feeling a loud clunk when turning namely left. Well it's more of a snap feeling and sound. So. The other day I was driving home and the "rear lock" light began flashing on the dash. I pulled over and this stopped...

    Pitman arm angle with wheels straight

    Is this pitman arm angle correct? My thought is that it should be parallel with the body of the Jeep but I have no idea really. I’m trying to track down the cause of my steering stabilizer rubbing against my track bar. Not sure if this is related at all. Please let me know of any issues you...

    I Need Help Identifying Front Steering Components From Previous Owner

    Please help! Hi everyone! I just bought the Jeep about 2 and a half weeks ago, after thinking about one for years. I absolutely love it, it only has 73k miles, no body rust, and an unreal solid frame for the north east (which I just POR15'd after lots of thread reading!)... However, it needs...

    SOLD Tie rod and drag link

    I have an OEM tie rod and drag link. The rubber cups for the grease are cracking. They’ve never been run dry. I replaced the parts with Currie. Does anyone want these old parts? I don’t want to ship. I’m in Palmdale, CA real close to the 14 fwy.

    Replacing Drag Link and Tie Rod End

    I recently got my TJ diagnosed after experiencing the inevitable death wobble. It felt like my jeep was shaking apart when going over 25. I was told it was the left side that was loose. They said I needed to replace the Center Link, Drag Link, Outer Tie Rod and Upper and Lower Ball Joints. I...

    Change pitman arm or track bar mount?

    After searching online for a definitive answer on dropped pitman arms with the Currie Currectlync I’m more confused than when I started. I know that the track bar and drag link should be parallel to get rid of bumpsteer but with my current set up I don’t get any bumpsteer at all. Unfortunately...

    Stock Spring Swap Walk-Thru with Pics

    When I bought my 05 Sport, it had some deferred maintenance issues that the PO had ignored. One issue is that the ride was harsh and jittery, nothing like you'd expect from the relatively new RS9000X shocks the PO had installed. With some help from some really knowledgeable people on this...

    ZJ tie rod... what about drag link?

    When a V8 ZJ tie rodis substituted for the flimsy TJ tie rod, is it important to use a ZJ drag link also? Since they are both solid rather than a hollow tube, seems to me like the ZJ drag linkwould not necessarily be a significant upgrade over the TJ one. Am I missing anything here, or can I...
