Thanks, there are indents, but I guess I didn't think of them as being crimps. Well that is terrible news, but I appreciate it.

What I did when I replaced my tie rod and drag link were with the NAPA heavy duty ones. Come with grease fittings on them and a lifetime warranty plus aren't much more than the stock replacements!

So after a little more looking around, I discovered it's a stock tie rod. I plan to replace it because, like I mentioned before, the passenger end is destroyed. My question is, would this cause wobble? It feels like death wobble to me, but I'm not an expert and this is my first jeep. It really only happens when I hit bumps at slow speeds (15-30mph). It feels fine and has never happened at higher speeds.
