Well the old lady turned 18 & I want to treat her to some fresh new parts. The front suspension is a getting to be a bit worn, sloppy, loose & bumpy. I figured I would start with shocks & the steering stabilizer. Under her skirt the girl is all stock & i'd like to replace these parts with OEM / MOPAR and try to keep it that way, but I see many are discontinued. Is crown automotive the manufacturer for Jeep ? Any one have OEM part numbers for these items to track down ? Suggestions on what to purchase & from who / where ? Do these parts come with any required bolts / bushings etc ? Should they or anything else be looked at to replace at the same time ? Is this a good place to start with for a better, smoother, less wandering ride ? I'd like to eventually replace everything upfront, where would you start, with what, & with what mfg ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions & input. ( forgot to mention she just turned 63,000 miles )

I found all Moog replacement parts on RockAuto.com
They came with all the nuts, bushings and cotter pins. You can buy all stock replacements, or If you’re replacing all the steering parts it’s worth reading about the ZJ tie rod conversion.

The ZJ conversion replaces a TJ hollow tie rod + 2 Tie rod ends with a solid 1 piece ZJ tie rod+adj sleeve+tie rod end. Either way you use the TJ drag link+sleeve+tie rod end.
I did this in the last couple months.

I want to replace stock & stay as stock OEM / MOPAR as possible. Curious though what your parts cost on that front end rebuild. I don't have or want a lift so a lot of your link doesnt apply to my situation. Thanks for the time & info Jg
