Thank you for the video, I just did this on my 2000. For the one at the Pitman arm, I turned the wheels so that it was just poking into the wheel well. Replacement was easier than I expected and I didn't have to work from underneath. I torqued it with a crowfoot extension on the torque wrench. When doing that, you need to adjust the torque wrench to compensate for the length of the extension. There are online calculators to determine the correct torque setting. Before removing the ends, I measure from the end of the drag link to the grease nipple. Installed the new ones to match those measurements. It's a good idea to grease the new ones with a grease gun - don't know how much grease is in there from the factory. I also did the tie rod ends and the steering stabilizer at the same time while I was in there. By the way, I also used Moog. It's a name that I trust. Last step is an alignment. If you only do the drag link ends then an alignment is not needed. I hope your daughter is doing wonderfully.
Refreshing to see an auto work video that is free of language, alcohol, and other common themes that often follow mechanic-ing world. I pray that your daughter is recovering and doing great. My wife had her GallBladder hacked out a few years ago, and it was a pretty easy road overall. Didn't completely fix the frequent heartburn but did seem to help.
Thanks for kind your words. Her surgery went well and she is doing great. If you videos free of all stuff you mentioned, please subscribe because you won't get any of that here. Thanks again.
Even though this is an old post, I've found this useful as I've got to do my upper bar soon. That lack of space in the pitman arm link area had me flummoxed- just turning the steering to clear it is a good idea and thank you. Sometimes, simple ideas work best so thank you for the excellent tip. Also- hope your daughter's operation went well. Prayers to all- a year late, but it still counts in my book.
I just saw your video, I know it's probably after her surgery but I just said a prayer for her anyway. I hope she's doing GREAT...she know just has to watch greasy and acidic foods. GOD BLESS!
Thank you very much. Yes, the surgery was awhile ago and it went well. Thanks for 🙏😊
Prayers going out to your family
i hope your daughters surgery went well! than you for the video on the wj i recently bought an 01 4.7
Loved the simplicity you show with your repairs.
Please keep up the good work 😁
Thanks for the kind words 🙂🙂
AWESOME JOB! I just learned how to do a wheel alignment!!
@Nunya Biz thank you, I'm glad I could help.
Very good Video 👍🏻 did the same about 6 months ago on Hi-mileage 04 Jeep WJ SE, I have been re building for a year now. Same color. Have some body work coming up 🤠🇺🇸
Wow u did that with ease great video and I hope things worked out for your daughter
Thanks for watching. Changing those isn't that hard. I used PB Blaster a week in advance to help loosen everything thing up. Our surgery went well, thank you. Also I will be doing more WJ videos in the future. Don't forget to subscribe.😊
Excellent! Thank you.
Thanks for the video and hope the surgery went well...I got mine removed too.
Thank you for your kind words. Her surgery went well.
Hello Friend! Great video! I'm new to all that mech stuff so I've got a question for you: What brand of Anti-Seize Lubricant do you use on those tie rod ends? Is that Permatex? Is that a copper or a nickel one you use? Would appreciate your answer!
Hello, Thanks for watching. Yes I use permatex silver.

Awesome video, I’m replacing mine but the upper rod is completely rusted and I’m thinking about just buying a completely new sleeve. Where would I go to buy that? Or what would I look up?
Thanks for the compliment. You can find them on Amazon, I shared a link below.

I'm not much of a mechanic and I need this done. I don't have tools to do this. How much do you think this should cost to fix?
Hello Frank, thanks for watching. It could cost any where from $300. to $500. Depending on where you go. The dealership would probably be a whole lot more.
No torque wrench required? Is that considered the outer tie rod? Great video
Hello, thanks for watching. The WJ drag link only has one inner and one outer, the inner is at the pitman arm. The tie rod has two outers. I typically don't use a torque wrench on tapered shafts. Thanks for the comment. Hope this helps.
My name Yuri, I wiv in Raisa how you know time to exchange the arm? While is not drive straight?
Thanks for watching. If you grab the drag link bar, if it feels sloppy it's time to change it.
Do these Moog parts not come with grease in them?
Thanks for watching. They come with very little grease, but they do have grease fittings.
No torque wrench...
May God heal her in Jesus name Amen
