drag link movement
#6
My drag link also clunks when its twisted. I also hear a thud/clunking in the front end when going over certain bumps. There are a few of these bumps that I hit on a daily basis so it has become very annoying. I took it to the dealership and they said it was normal. I say bad design....

Mine moved very easy before I changed all the front end parts. My 2012 has 32,000 miles, and everything was shot. Plastic Ball joints were gone, and drag link was shot also. Check the ball joints with a bar and a jack. Any up and down play means the are shot. I check the drag link, and tie rod ends with the Jeep on the ground and have someone move the steering wheel from side to side. The should be no movement in any of the rod ends in and out. My tie rods were still OK, but I replaced everything at one shot. I did install the metal ball joints, and everything else. Now the are normal, and have to be greased just like the real one that used to come stock. It really did tighten up the front end. It did take a little while to break in. Handling is much better now.
