1995 unknown miles on engine and trans but completely new fluid in trans less than 20k miles With no previous problems with the engine or transmission in the past 6 plus months, today on my way to work after about 20 minutes of driving on the freeway there was a loud pop and the transmission...

I had a problem with my alignment when I didn’t take into account the drag link having a separate alignment to toe in alignment. I was using angle iron and adjusting toe in perfect but the drag link was actually too far out pushing the tires to the right a bit. So on a tape measure my toe and...

Are there any side effects to daily driving it on the street? Does it perform different to a ball joint on the street? In other words could my wife jump in and not have it feel or act weird?

Doesn’t really make sense to me either but that was what their customer service/sales rep said. He said they are not cross compatible and teraflex does not make a ball joint for wj. He said when different people tested them, the ball joint fit but they couldn’t get the correct preload and it was...

I talked to teraflex and they said their jk ball joints are not compatible with wj knuckles. They said they fit but the preload is wrong and they don’t work. So they are out.

What is everyone who has done the swap using for ball joints? I did the wj knuckle/brake/steering swap and I have gone through 2 different lower ball joints with mainly normal driving on paved roads with potholes in less than 2 years. I heard adjustable terraflex are the strongest but I don’t...

Don’t worry about the radiator. Remove the lines and plug the holes in the radiator. I’m not sure about the electrical part though. Make sure you research what’s involved with the computer and electronics. The physical swap and adding clutch and pedal is easy.

I had one on my last xj from boostwerks and it gave me peace of mind but I don’t think it really did anything. What did do stuff for feeling stiffer and stronger was frame stiffeners and the old stinkyfab steering spacer that included a plate to weld to the inside of the engine bay as well as...

Leaking or bad brake booster will make your brakes go away when the engine is running. My old xj had liberty disks on an 8.25 and I swapped the booster for an “WJ upgrade” and swapped the proportioning valve guts for Wj guts and I immediately had a huge upgrade in my brakes but one day on a...

I have had brown dog on two of my cherokees and I like them. I did have to play around with how tight the bolt was. If it was too tight then the engine movement is felt thru the entire vehicle and if it’s too loose then the vibration isn’t really felt but the engine moves too much and can put...

Anyone ever rebuild one? I did a quick google search and didn’t find a rebuild kit or anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we called Yukon they said some clunking and play is normal but this seems excessive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Automatic transmission I have a new grizzly locker in an 8.8 and it has a ton of play and slams into gear. The shop that installed it called Yukon and they said it is normal for some play. But it is a lot of play and isn’t a small clunk. It’s very harsh and sounds like someone is smacking it...

I might be completely wrong but I had the same problem in California and I just connected it to one of the ports that is or looks sealed shut. Passed the visual and pressure inspection for California but I don’t know if it is actually doing anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took everything apart on the other side and everything was good and now everything is good on the bad side too. The bearing itself is good. I didn’t feel the rotor sitting crooked or feel anything weird in the brakes the first time I installed it and had a problem. Sent from my iPhone using...
