After 60k hard miles, i'm starting to replace steering parts. I just replaced my track bar with a @Metalcloak unit, so i'm looking to replace the tie rod and stock steering stabilizer while I'm at it.

Metalcloak has just the tie rod and steering stabilizer, or there's the whole unit with the drag link too.

What's your guys' opinion? Replace the drag link while i'm at it or save myself a couple hundred dollars? Does the drag link get much wear? I've never bashed it and have only had to adjust it once in all this time

When I did the Metalcloak steering on my 2 door JK I did the tie rod and drag link at one time. Steering was all done at once and didn't have to dig in it again any time soon.
