Default Need some advice

hey guys im was looking at some of my suspension parts the other day while putting on a new trackbar. it appears that i need to replace the ends of the drag link where it meets the pitman arm. the current one have the rubber bushing or grease catch and it is just worn out and cracked and split completely on one side. just want to know what i could go with to get the steering feeling solid again i wanted to get the

synergy suspension heavy duty metal on metal tie rod ends-- http://northridge4x4.com/shop/synerg...e-rod-ppm-8002

and also

AEV front control arm geometry correction brackets AEV JK Front Control Arm Brackets (20410AA)

would those tie rods work on both ends and the brackets will they cause better steering and feel. to be honest as much as i want to be like eddie and the JK pros its still my daily driver and aside from the occasional mudd hole it stays on the road. cant afford and major accidents.

You have wheels with less back spacing ?
The synergy tie rod ends won't fit my 15's

The joint at the pitman arm can be picked up anywhere. It's moog ES3624

The AEv Brackets are not needed unless you're lifted and need caster correction.

Perfect, good choice. Synergy is awesome.
Check out their drag link also. It can be run in either the stock or flipped position if drilled/reamed)

Go to NAPA or a store that carries the MOOG end. They are a good upgrade over stock.

The drag link flip is done when the track bar is raised to correct the steering geometry at higher lifts.
