I finally diagnosed the issue with my jeeps death wobble, and I need to replace these tie rod ends. Given its my daily driver, getting these as soon as I can would be great. I bought this 2005 sport used, and it's got an aftermarket tie rod that I don't recognize. Just hoping to find some people on here that recognize it. And can guide me to where I can pick up a replacement. Thanks I appreciate the help!

I’m assuming you removed the castle nut and cotter pin on the driver’s side? I don’t know the brand, but that’s a crossover (T) style conversion. TJs came with haltenberger (Y) style steering. Here’s a thread on the topic (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads...ering-for-my-jeep-wrangler-tj.2956/post-36501). For myself, I’d replace that set up with a ZJ or Currie setup both if which are stronger versions of the stock geometry.

Yes it's pretty well worn out. And then I threads on the castle nut stripped. So yeah I'm in desperate need to find a replacement. Unfortunately I'm kind of on a tight budget and I would rather just get that end than a whole other setup. Thanks for the reply, I'll go check out that thread

I get the funds issue. A Moog ZJ set up from Amazon is not terribly spendy if you don’t have luck with the particular end you are looking for.
