    Can you get the drivers side off first? It seems on my 74 CJ I could get one side off then pull the tie rod straight forward and drop it out.

    It's a Jeep thing, Chrysler doesn't understand!

    I seem to remember that you have to put the Jeep on stands so weight is off the suspension. Turn the wheel full right and remove the tie rod and drag link, then full left to remove the other side. It helps to remove the front tires. Take a measurement before removing them so you can be close on the alignment when you put the new ones in.
