WJ Tie Rod & Drag Link ends question??

Hello everybody,

Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I have searched all over and can't find an easy answer for this.

When I got my WJ inspected before I bought it the mechanic said it needed a right outer tie rod end. Not being an expensive fix I bought the vehicle and now that I have done more research on the Drag Link and Tie Rod it seems to me there are more things wrong.

When I grab the Tie Rod and try to rotate, it wiggles back and forth at both ends. When I grab the Drag Link and attempt to rotate it does the same thing. The Pitman Arm is solid but both ends of the Tie Rod & Drag Link wiggle when I grab them.

So now here is my question: Do I need to replace both ends off the Tie Rod & Drag Link? if not, how do I identify which one is the problem?


Thanks in advance for your feedback!
