Re: 93 ZJ "clunk" in front axle
That is part of the drag link on my Jeeps. The expensive part....
You can change that yourself pretty easy. It's adjusting end is to
center the steering wheel only and has no bearing on the front end
alignment.
I back off the big nut to the top of the threads and give it a hard hit
with a large hammer, commonly known as a BFH. That usually pops it
out. The other end needs penetrating fluid and two nuts and bolts on
either end of a sleeve clamp to loosen.

Re: 93 ZJ "clunk" in front axle
Ah... that's good to know.
Since it has been "flapping" around because of the play. I probably
will have an alignment done anyway.
I have the tool somewhere in my garage. (My '79 CJ5 uses the same
special BFH tool. )
hanks for the help.
