I'm replacing all my tie rod ends on my 1996 Cherokee and I want to make sure I order the correct part. First,are tie rod ends connected to the horizontal bar inner or outer? Secondly,is the bar that's attached to the pitman arm,then to the tie tod,and lastly to the passenger side wheel,a drag link or a tie rod? From what I've been reading other places,it's a drag link,but on RockAuto there's something that looks like it in the "tie rod ends" section. There's no drag links on their website for this car. I've seen center links,but I thought a car could only have one or the other. Can somebody clear all this up for me,please?

Yes, the rod that goes from the Pitman arm to the pass-side knuckle is the Draglink.
The bar that goes from the pass-side axle to the right side frame mount is a trackbar.
And I think in your case the bar that goes from the middle of the Drag-Link tot he Driver-side knuckle is the tie rod.

Perhaps this will help:

Ok so this is the correct part then right? It's just mislabeled on their site then I assume? It's labeled as a "right outer."

what you posted is the drag link.

a pitman arm is connected to the steering box. the drag link is attached to the pitman arm and goes to the passenger side knuckle. then the tie rod bolts into the drag link and goes to the driver side knuckle. for both parts you will also need the adjusting sleeve and the smaller tie rod ends (which are like 6-7 inches long).

hope this helps, i wasn't sure what you were asking exactly so I tried to summarize it.

Ok thank you. I think I've concluded that they mislabeled this. I'll be reusing my adjusting sleeve,and replacing all the ends. Thanks again
