My 2000 Jeep Cherokee is still in the shop. I need a track bar and a front drive link. The Jeep has a Rough Country 4.5” short arm lift. I’m having trouble finding these parts. Any suggestions on where I can look.

Plenty of companies sell a track bar for that set up, including rough country. I would recommend the Rubicon Express drop bracket and track bar set up, along with a drop pitman arm. I've been running this setup for many years with no issue. As for the drive link, if you are referring to the drive shaft, the stock shaft will work with up to 5.5ish inches of lift, maybe more.

Thank you, I'll check out the Rubicon Express. I should have typed Drag Link. Never type when your tired. Stinks when the vehicle breaks down while your in the middle of a move.

The stabilizer will only hide the wobble a little longer. Identifying and then replacing/fixing things like bushings and joints in the front end (track bar, drag links, tie rod, pitman arm, etc) is the cure.

Do a quick google of death wobble fix to find a guide on how/where to start. It’s actually relatively easy to at least identify what is causing it and then you can decide how or who is going to fix it.
thank you, I have a Rough Country Drag link and new steering stabilizer and track bar on the way. There are other things that need to be fixed as well but those are factory.
