ZJ tie rod

The grease boots on the Moog parts are superior. You'll need to degrease and paint them though.

Good call - Going with this product:

I noticed a very wide pricing discrepancy between Advanced Auto Parts and O'Reillys who are selling this the Moog DS1430 (drag link) for around $250 whereas Summit Racing, Amazon, Walmart etc are selling the same part for around $100. Any clue to that? I am ordering from Advanced Auto Parts since they are price matching Summit Racing. My reasoning is that Advanced Auto Parts is listed as an authorized reseller on Moog's web-site so I feel a little more comfortable buying from them. Project will commence this weekend.

I remember that the Moog drag link was very pricey through NAPA too. I ended up just getting it through Amazon. It was the exact same part number, so I assumed the exact same part. Hope install goes well! Definitely a beefier steering set up. I had bad tie rod ends causing death wobble, and needed to beef stuff up anyway, so just did the whole conversion. Glad I did! Solved my problems and been good to go ever since...

I saw that in your post, which by the way, you had some good stuff in your post so will be helpful for me. I'm doing the conversion for similar reasons as you.
