All excellent news to me. I’ll make sure my current lines have all the slack I can make available and hit the Ozarks with confidence I won’t pull a brake line in two. Thanks to all.

I have a ‘95 XJ with a very mild lift; 1.0” spacers on the front coils with the old spring pads left in place, and a leaf added in the rear, which probably added close to 2”, but the rear was sagging before. I believe the leaf kit stated 1.0” to 1.5”. I have LT235 / 75 x 15 tires on stock YJ...

Same thing I thought, but I checked the three good bolts at the local hardware store and O’Reilley’s. All three fit the 5/16 x 18 sizer at both locations. None of the three would even start in the 8mm x 1.0. They would fit loosely in the 8mm x 1.25 but bound up at about three threads deep. A...

I’m also waiting on new shocks, so I thought I would go ahead and take the old ones off in advance. Three of my four upper bolts came out OK. The fourth one had the threads flattened on the last 1/4” or so of the bolt. I thought I’d run a 5/16 x 18 tap in there to clean things up. It...

Might be the rear roller bearing on the front output shaft, but it’s not the ball bearing at the front end of the front output shaft. It has zero play / slack in any direction.

Per one of the employees at the local O’Reilly’s, who is also a street rodder, the Seafoam deep creep is the best stuff on the market. He tried it after being a dedicated PB Blaster user & claims it’s better. All I know about it is that it’s expensive, like $11 a can. I guess that would be...

The booster could be OK, but is getting a load of fluid out of the master cylinder and the brake fluid is obviously getting sucked into the the engine by the vacuum line to the booster. Thinking about it, the master cylinder has to be bad. The only way fluid is supposed to be able to get out...

Found out the hard way. Didn’t lose much, didn’t have to go far to know the growl is still there. Took about 1/2 quart to refill. With the rear driveshaft out, the noise is different, and slightly worse. It’s also worse when decelerating. It’s still not extreme, and might be normal for the...

All good & fresh.

Changed a couple months ago whenI first started noticing the noise, but it was full and what I drained out was clean. I think I had previously changed the fluid in fall of ‘17.

Noticed the noise on dirt, driving on a smooth section between big mud holes. I’ve been testing the acceleration noise on a gravel road nearby. I’ve done some slow rolling in a straight line on a section of new asphalt near my house to see if I can hear anything just rolling, not accelerating...

There is zero slack in the front output shaft. There is a tiny bit of slack in the splines of the slip yoke on the rear driveshaft. I don’t think the slack in the slip yoke splines are creating the noise since it’s not present in 2wd, but I’m not through testing on that yet.

I have dropped the front driveshaft and performed a test drive. The growl is reduced a lot, but it’s still there. I’m guessing the same thing is growling, but not as loud because there much less torque stress without the front axle connected to the transfer case. While I had the front...

Hello all. I’m a new member to NAXJA as of today 7/17/20, but I’ve owned a ‘95 XJ since the day it was new on the lot. It was my company vehicle, then my vehicle, then my mom’s vehicle, and now it has been mine again since August 2016. My mom was hardest on it, putting 9000 miles on it in 14...
