Thanks for the comprehensive instructions Strat! I'll start searching for parts to do the job.

I just changed my drag link yesterday. I used PLANMAN advice of taking adjustable pliers and checking for play on the ends. If you squeeze the pliers and you see up and down movement then that not good. Like the other guys said it is not that difficult to change out. It took me 30 minutes to swap out the drag link. If you do end up taking the drag link off make sure to count how many revolution it takes to twist off the drag link. Also a rubber mallet comes in handy to.

I went to NAPA auto parts the drag link was in stock for $60 dollars. My Jeep has stock tires and wheels at the moment. When I re gear and put on 35s down the road I will put on synergy drag link.
