The contact point between the pad and the knuckle gets a divot worn into it and can cause the pad to hang up.

I'm pretty sure they were eliminated with the redesign.

You could just forget about it and just weld a stud over it.

It should come with it, so you should have what you need. Remember that you cannot drive the ujoint cap completly out on the double joint like you would on a single joint. The most you will get is about half way out. Then put the cap in a vice and smack the yoke with a hammer to get it out...

I would start with a new set of spark plugs and disconnect the battery while you change them out. This will help the computer to reset itself. Also, the roof rack is probably costing a couple MPG all by itself from wind resistance.

Mbjeep got it right. With single ujoints at each end of the driveshaft, the goal is to get the rear axle pinion shaft parallel to the tcase output shaft. If the double jointed (carden joint or CV style) driveshaft is used, then you want the rear axle pinion to be directly in-line with the...

The difference in the speedometer is the same as the percentage tire size change. So 1" over 28" = 3.5%. So when you are traveling 60 mph according to your speedometer, you will actually be going 62 mph. So I say just leave it alone.

Thanks for your inquires. The tire have been sold.

I have 5 Irok's that are 36x13.50x15. 4 of them have minimal tread left but one has about 90% left. All 5 are only $150. The would be perfect for the sand dunes or mall crawling. The one with near full tread would be good for anything. I am making regular trips (weekends) between the Mansfield...

Nope, sorry, the fender is gone.

I have a black passenger fender from a 2001 Cherokee that is in excellent condition and no rust. $50 and I can ship on your dime. I also have a complete exhaust system that you can buy all or part of from the same 2001 XJ. Good shape other than the typical surface rust. Pre-cats $30 each. O2...

Once you have a leak like you do, the mud and sand holds the oil in the tube and it is pretty hard to clean out. I've found that if you get a length of threaded rod and bolt a large washer to the end between two nuts, you can use it as a scraper to clean out the hard stuff. Then the rag...

Al, give it a couple of weeks and see if it loosens up on it's own (mine did). But right now you can check for anything rubbing or binding. Disconnect the steering stablizer and move it by hand just to make sure it isn't hanging up.

Probably the harness for the power windows and locks that you don't have.
