Ok, I looked at it with a friend of mine. It seems that the part where
the draglink ataches to the hub/spindle/steeringknuckle or whatever it
is called is worn and has some play in it. (it's like a tie rod end but
then on what the service manual calls the draglink)

Does the whole draglink need to be replaced ? or can the end of it be
replaced ?


thanks,

Ron

The ZJ uses a Y type arrangement.

Play as in side to side pop/klunk or as in you can rotate it
front to back.. rotating is fine, it's the pop/klunk that is bad.
