I bought the moog... Any advice on removing the stock Drag-Link tie-rod end at the pitman arm?

Can't get it to budge.

I may be giving these a try, steering is getting sloppy and have some bump steer, checked everything and the ball joints are good. figure I was gonna upgrade at some point anyway so better sooner than later.

Sorry, I just saw this. You are correct. The Currie ends on the Tie Rod are freaking huge! I was just talking about the stock drag link end replaced with the Moog and the fact they fit the Rock Krawler Tie Rods also.

It is just a hard core replacement
Part that is greasable that will last
a lot longer. I had death wobble issues and this helped cure it. If your stock end is not damaged you don't have to replace it, but for $22 it can't be beat and couple with peace of mind.

I noticed that although my drag link and tie rod ends are fine, as far as wear, they still move around quite a bit, and clunk when going over a speed bump or some such thing. I can see the Moog drag link end at the pitman arm being a very good replacement that might alleviate some of this clunking...but are there replacement outer drag link & tie rod ends for the OEM tie rod that are similar to this drag link end? Thanks
