Best place to source tie rod ends?

[WheelinJR]

The ball joint at my pitman arm is done.

Where does everyone buy theirs? I like cheap and quick delivery, so any suggestions would be great.

I have got steering parts, tie rods and ends from: www.jeep4x4.com , www.tellico4x4.com , and www.rockauto.com

rockauto has been the quickest and mostly the cheapest, most parts I order from them arrive in 2-3 days, jeep 4x4 comes in second.

TRE or ball joint?? :wierd: I assume you mean TRE since you mentioned the pitman arm.

I just got a Moog ZJ drag link from Parts Plus. But as it turns out, it was identical to the factory XJ one, but with a different part number.

Are you looking for something more HD? Then there's Currie, JCR, and others.

:confused1 I still don't understand what you're referring to.

Your subject line says "Best place to source tie rod ends".

Your first sentence says "The ball joint at my pitman arm is done".

Then you say you want to "replace a bad factory ball joint".

There is NO ball joint at the pitman arm. So which part are you talking about. I guess it really doesn't matter, as you can get a TRE or ball joint at any parts store. I'm just trying to understand. :)
