Replace the tie rod ends. You need penetrating oil, a pair of big pipe wrenches, and some strength to get the ends off.

The steering stabilizer looks like it's shot. It's 2 bolts to remove; super easy. With that leak I'll bet you can easily compress it by hand. A new steering stabilizer is cheap and worth the money[1].

If you plan on lifting the Jeep in the future, get an adjustable track bar[2]. Also super easy to replace

Go for an alignment after you do this, particularly if you don't tape the threads on the old tie rod ends to act as a guide for how far to thread the new ones in.

I have no idea how many miles you have on your jeep, but I'll just give some perspective:

at 65k I had to replace all my shocks. Had to. They were all shot.
at 90k I put a 3" lift on. Steering stabilizer, track bar, shocks, front end links, and OME springs went in the front. This made my suspension and steering amazingly tight.
at 120k I replaced tie rod ends. Had to.

If you're over 100k and everything looks stock, I highly recommend throwing $1k at the suspension. Even if your'e not going to lift it, replacing everything will make a HUGE difference.

Oh, and sign up for a couple forums. This sub is nice, but forums are much better wealths of knowledge.
