Just changed mine. Had to use a 6 point wrench at the axle side (17mm iirc) to hold the nut on the back. I just went with zj tierods as they were only marginally more expensive. ATF + Acetone worked for me after PB blaster failed

PB blaster didn't help get my tierod ends off the knuckles. Mixed up a batch of Acetone/ATF and they came off in minutes. Anyways I originally ordered a factory replacement stabilizer (moog ssd56) but decided I would upgrade to the ssd107 after reading some reviews. So waiting on another rock...

Its what the local mom and pops hardware store had when i went looking for implement paint

Plan on using Antisieze as its more tacky, and I have had good luck with it. Anyhow I receiced me rock auto order and just primed everything for paint for rust prevention. I have a can of Magic Acrylic Enamel gloss I'll brush on everything. I just bought it to spruce up a rusty old Craigslist...

For the sake of convenience, I ordered completely new steering as well as damper from Rock Auto for a V8 ZJ. Including the Drag Link. All Moog. Should be here this week. I ordered 2 adjusting sleeves but apparently I only need 1?

Went to Pepboys, purchased a lifetime alignment for 150 (with coupon). Turns out they couldn't adjust my tierod with it being rusted. Said they tried a torch to no avail. Lookslike I'm replacing the tierod system like it or not. Now trying to decide which tierod to use. Probably ZJ v8 or rough...

Ahh Im too late. If your not on Facebook I would check there for parts on the marketplace. Tons of xjs around me. Better than craigslist.

Where are you located? I have a tank here in Youngstown you can have for free. I found my leak coming from the pressure regulator and not the actual tank itself.

Ok, thanks. I may wnd up going this route. You have good experience like this?

Well, can't get it aligned until next week. I may try it myself my next day off.is this steering box spacer between the box and the frame rail? Also, Im still curious if I can run WJ steering with the track bar mounted in the factory location under the axle.

If it doesn't get better after alignment I will. I figured the RE1600 would be better than the factory. I picked it up for 50$ off of a facebook classified. Trying to get by as cbeap as safely possible.

Think I'm going to get it professionally aligned today. I was trying to get by without an alignment until I was ready for the WJ brakes and axle swap.

RE1600 with a ramcharger Moog tierod

Im currently debating some steering upgrades. My vehicle : 2000 XJ Sport with RE 3.5 lift. RE adjustable track bar. After installing the lift I can feel alot more play in the steering and plan to upgrade. I have WJ knuckles with the spacers welded on already but was going to run those with ZJ v8...

Remember that KJ hoses aren't going to work for you
