My weekend is Sunday Monday.
Anyway...
Went back to Falcon Auto and drained the fluid from the front and read diffs.
My mechanic checked the ring and pinions for wear and everything looked great.
We filled the diffs back up and he replace the oxygen sensors while I was there. I took my two universal oxygen sensors back to Oreily's. The OEM replacements were $10 cheaper than O'reily's Auto!
Went to NTB and had them check the alignment and rotate and balance the BFG's. It was out of alignment, slightly, and I had irregular tread wear on the inside of the front tires. NTB and my mechanic said the front shocks weren't keeping the tires from bouncing, so every other lug was wore more.
After the rotate and balance the Jeep is smooth again. I only noticed the vibs at low speed, as in coming to a stop.
I'm looking forward to seeing if I have the cyclical vibs at 70 and 80 mph.
I also filled up the tank so I can see if the new O2 sensors are going to get me up from 13 mpg to some magical mileage.
