Default Name this part! :-)

Hey guys, need your help. I have had my jeep for over a year, bought it used, and already lifted.

I want to replace it, but don't know what to buy!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Tie rod end at the pitman arm.

That's your drag link but the end is still called a tie rod.

You can go stock or aftermarket.

Actually I have a moog joint I think will work. Needs a boot but its brand new.

Pay for shipping and its yours.

seconded on the info above

Another thing i noticed in the picture: Keep an eye on that track-bar frame mount. That weld does not look very happy to me. As of now it doesn't need to be fixed or anything, but just something to check on periodically

Oops, sorry, I should have mentioned I know it is a tie rod end, I am trying to find out if the thread diameter is stock or a bigger aftermarket.

Kjeeper, thanks a bunch for the offer, but I can grab one locally. When I got the Jeep, it had this tie rod end on it, but no boot. This was the closest sized boot Napa had, and obviously it wasn't good enough.

You guys agree it's stock?

I agree, those welds are ugly! Buy they seem to have gotten good penetration, and have up so far.

I am fixing the leak on the tranny cooler too before somebody sees that!

Stock size because you have the stock adjustment sleeve.

You can buy aftermarket from O'reilly/Advance/whomever that comes with a grease zerk and castle nut.

Thanks for all the replies! Picked one at Napa today. Now I just gotta find time to install it!
