Stock JK TechBulletin board forum regarding issues with OE (original equipment) components of the Jeep JK Wrangler (Rubicon, Sahara, Unlimited and X) such as factory suspension parts, engine, transmission, body parts, interior fixtures and the on-board computer.
Ok. So 23,000 miles and the drag link is wasted. Wow. So. Do I buy a new one for $60 odd, or do I spend triple and get a flip kit? Opinions wanted Jeepers. Thanks.
Get the flip kit i you are lifted. If you are still stock - 2.5" of lift, just get a regular drag link. You can typically find them on CL. I got my last one off CL for $15 from a 2012.

Yep. Lifted 4". So I bought a drag link flip kit, sector shaft brace, and an adjustable track bar. Should be here before the weekend. Hopefully it goes on ok. The only issue might be with the clearance of the factory wheels. But I do have a Sahara and the 18" wheel does seem to have a little more room around the top of the knuckle than the 17". So maybe. I do plan to buy 17" wheels and 35" tires, but was trying to pace my money these last few months. Son is a senior and prom, graduation, college, etc is taking lots of free money. This can't wait though.
Why get another OEM that will fail in another 23,000 miles, especially with your lift? I figure by 2014, there will be no Chrysler parts left in my Chrysler.
