Default Wonder if its bent.....TRE and Draglink.

Hey i have a horrible DW, and was just basically wonder if there is supposed to be a bend in the tie rod (it rubs against the track bar).
and was wondering the drag link is supposed to have a bend before the steering knuckle...? pics maybe???

The Tie Rod should be completely straight end-to-end.
The Track Bar will have a couple of bends in it.
The Drag Link should have a slight bend at the knuckle to clear the inner C when turning, and another bend before the pitman arm end as well.

Hope this helps.

OOOPS, I just saw you have a ZJ, and the pic above is a WJ.

From what I can find.. only the Drag Link on a ZJ should be straight. Both the Tie Rod and Tack Bar appear to have bends in all the picks I can find...but I'm no expert.
