I had a vibration and did everything to fix my issue, 8 month and could not get a jeep rep. to take a ride. I just file a lemon law...call 1800 lemon law it is free and the process is around 3 months. We have the same color jeep and cannot replace it in 23.

It's amazing you didn't wreck with that happening. From the pics it doesn't look that bad. Personally I'd take the wheel off & inspect the hole on the knuckle which is an interference fit with the tie rod end. If it's beat up then you need a new knuckle which is expensive & might have a long lead time. The tie rod appears to have good fit surface & threads, just some slight damage on the top & very well might be fine. If all was good I'd just torque a new $2 nut (6505623AA) on it & say good bye to the dealer. I doubt that ever had a nut on it to start with because the interference fit locks it in place plus the nut is also a locking type. The dealer & jeep are probably scared to death of the liability issues, that's a very dangerous thing to forget.
