Steering parts questions

[WWII Jeeper]

I ordered all of heavy duty moog parts from a posting list here, including Spicer ball joints.
When I went to match parts up, I noticed a significant difference in diameter size. The old being larger.
I have no clue what brand I have, as it was a dealer install when I purchased the jeep. Drove off the lot, had a wobble, took it back, they fixed it.
Any idea what brand these old parts are ? Or where to look for special id marks ?
Thanks
Ray

Forgot, do I resurrect the old parts, or go with the new moog ?

Holy smoke, your original steering kit is Currie's Currectlync heavy duty steering system which is the best/strongest made for the TJ. Resurrect it, it's not the cause of your shimmy!

This is what was installed when you bought your TJ... http://www.currieenterprises.com/CE-9701

Oh wow... your “stock steering” isn’t stock after all. That’s a $500+ Currie Currectlync steering, the best steering you can get for a TJ in my opinion.

If it needs refreshing, you can order some new tie rod ends for it and it would be just like new.

Thank you Jerry and Chris,
The 4 wd shop at the dealership was shut down shortly after I bought and the front repairs done. Looks like those guys did me right.

In the first pic, the tie rod is part of the bar. Can it be rebuilt, or do I have to buy a new bar ?

Is the joint bad or just the boot? This should be of use to you:

I was told the tie rods, and upper right ball joint were bad. I decided to replace all the components so I wouldn't be chasing worn parts in a few thousand miles. The XJ upgrade (I think) that was posted on this site had the list of stuff. Today I took on the task, and discovered the different system. It's also possible one tie rod was bad or looked bad, and a blanket replace all was given by the shop.... it's all about the money right ??

Looks like I'll be returning the new parts, and ordering up the Currie replacement parts

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it-

Return them to Amazon, they'll easily swap them out for the right Currie parts:

That's all you'll need to get that Currie Currectlync as good as new. Nice find too, that's the steering system I run on my TJ. It's the best-of-the-best as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Chris,
I went back to storage last night and just couldn't tell if the tie rod on the drag link was bad or not. So, I ordered up a new drag link, and a couple of tie rod ends. A little extra cost after the return funds from Amazon, but it will definitely be worth it. May tackle the ball joints late today.

Thanks again to everyone helping out on this site
