I'm considering upgrading from the stock TJ track bar tie rod to the ZJ bar rod. I have several leaking or busted boots on these components and figured if I'd be taking things apart, I'd just upgrade the bar rod. (It helps that Rock Auto has a 10% sale on some Moog components as of this post).
I understand there should be some play in the drag link bar and ball joints, but I don't know what too much or excessive play looks like.
Here's mine:
Is that amount of play too much since I'm just using hand strength? What's the consensus on doing the drag link as well?
To this point, I have had no death wobble. There may be the slightest vibration in the steering wheel when you get up to highway speeds (60-65 MPH), but nothing really out of the ordinary.
Thanks all.
