My wife standing there with a smile from ear to ear....everyone's a comedian.
Sure enough there were the shocks at the rear of the front axle. It's really kinda funny. No excuses...at least none that are legit.
We don't drive the Jeep much so it's not been a priority for me. But then my...
Thanks WinterBeater. I was feeling a little stupid even asking the question. I appreciate your clearing it up for me. I'll get it in the air in a couple of days to take a look.
Thanks again,

Hi,
The front end is very bouncy and obviously needs shocks. I'm not a suspension expert but have done a fair number of shock replacements over the years. Are the front shocks different than earlier years?
I haven't gotten it up in the air yet but when I first looked underneath it appeared...
You might be right Ecomike. I would run the Mobil1 product in mine but the rear main seal doesn't like it much.
To anyone reading my post....a lot of the conversation was directed to old British iron.
They're a great tool to have in the box. Like many tools you don't need them often but when you do they're invaluable. I have a tool justification program in my life. I save so much money doing all of the repairs that i reward myself with tools every now and then. Now that I am a 53 year old...

My Auto Zone shows the part number as Ready Aire #1963...retail $43.99...
Just an update if anyone is interested......
I just changed the oil again. It was weeping just a bit so I added 4 quarts of Valvoline 5W-30 and 2 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30.
Not a drop leaking now so this is the blend I'll stick with in the future for this rig.

Same with a friend of mine. He had an old Ford 150 that did the same thing. Bought it from another friend of mine knowing that it had this problem. He added the Lucas and no more problem ....and he plowed with this truck as well. He had a little left over and it quieted the power steering...
Well I got around to playing with the Kriket II so I'll answer my own question. I was going to reply to a PM from someone that asked me to respond if I figured it out. It appears that I have 40 PMs stored but it's little unclear to me how I can get to them.....none show in the inbox or sent...
