Re: 93 ZJ "clunk" in front axle
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.

$73.10 oem, $59.94 (chryslerpartsdirect.com)
That's for part 4 on this diagram.
