zj steering on xj

90xjDave said:
are the drag link and tie rod on a zj (V8) any more of an upgrade than what comes on the xj or are they the same?

The tierod... Yes The draglink... No
There are stronger ways but, if you need to replace the tierod & didn't want to spend the money for something custom then it might be an option.
Good Luck !!

I've found the ZJ's draglink to be 22mm dia. at the adjustment threads, where the early XJ's measure 20mm. Go measure them, it's hard to eyeball 2mm, but it makes for a stronger drag link, TRE, adjuster sleeve, combonation, as this is where they bend sometimes.
