i have a bent one and before i can get an alignment i am pretty sure i have to replace this so my question is will a used one be fine or is it worth it just to put in the extra bit for a new one (if so any idea how much for a new one?) mine is bent at the adjusters so i cant really put it off if i need to be able to adjust it and my driver side tire is worth bad so i got to do suttin before i put on new tires.

A used one will work fine as long as its straight. One from pretty much any xj, tj, zj or whatever will work. Bending a tie rod is pretty common and will continue happening if you wheel so you may want to look into upgrading it to something stronger eventually like rockrawlers or something stronger that upgrades the tierod and draglink. If your going to get one from a yard try to find a v8 zj its a bit stronger and a direct swap.

Not sure about the yj tie rod, I have never looked at one. Try google, I am sure you will find something.

And for someone on a tight budget, $300 is too much money to spend on a new tie-rod setup. Jay asked if the YJ tie rod assembly is the same because I have one that will go for CHEAP money.

try a yard, you should be able to get one for farily cheap. Not sure where you live, but I was in billerica at hollstans and they had a ton of old xj's around, a few mj's and some zj's. I wonder if a yj tie rod would fit an xj. Its basically the same front axle d30. Could be worth a try.
I know they are the same for xj's, tj's and zj's, so you would think yjs would be the same, why make a different part for a vehicle with the same front axle. But I could be wrong.

I replaced all my stock tierods, brand new. Biggest mistake ever but i know the pricing. The stock draglink will run you about $145 the stock tierod is 40-50$ part at a jeep dealer.
Either go used (i've had trouble with yards not selling me used ones though) Or get a new setup. Rustys conversion costs aproximately the same as replacing your setup with new mopar parts.
