My broke college buddy has a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It has a 9" lift kit with new 35" tires. After he replaced the tires he went for a front end alignment and was told that the tie rods were bad and that they couldn't align it until they were replaced. Tonight we ordered a heavy duty tie rod kit and a Pitman Arm from Quadratec. Neither of us are mechanics but looking at it it seems like a simple job. Just unbolt the existing and replace with the new parts ? Am I missing something ? Do we need any special tools ? A garage quoted a price of $200 for the labor. I would appreciate any information. Parts should be here in 3 days. Thanks.
