not a bad idea on the filter, but i flushed the system the way i do at work which isnt very good in my opinion but it worked awesome this time, just took a siphon pump and siphoned it all out, added clean fluid, start it and crank the well back and forth a bunch of times, and start over at step...

hey im gonna be changing the power steering pump on my 89 4.0 today. mainly what i want to know is: is there somewhere on the rack to drain the fluid out of so im not contaminating all my new fluid with the nasty stuff down there (fluids damn near black)? and second how much fluid will a...

but what about height? how long are they? im adding in a couple leafs which are making the pack about 9/16" thicker. so i just wanted to know the dimensions fo the stock ones so i can get longer ones.

hey i was wondering if anyone knows the stock d35 u-bolt size off hand. i just dont want to have to go take one off before i run down to the shop.

ok so im all ready to go on my bastard pack except for the clips which i havnt been able to find, but my autoshop teacher was telling me that theyre not needed and that the ubolts will hold them straight. is this true?

so im about to do a bastard pack on my xj. im adding the main and second leaf from another xj to my pack. my question is does anyone know what size spring bolt and u bolts should i need for the thicker pack? also where would i go about finding spring clips? all the parts stores around here...

awesome that really helps out a lot! one question though, i was looking through rockauto.com, didnt see any coils for the 98 5.9 but there are several options for the 5.2 limited are any of those options the ones you were talking about? the ones i was looking at were under jeep>1998>grand...

lol that doesnt look safe... but awesome none the less. think im probably just gonna go with the zj coils and spacers. is there a range of years i should look for? i think i remember someone saying 93-98 or something but im not sure

cool, thanks guys. also are these springs a good choice? or is there any other better options? i know ive heard coils from an f-150 work but theyre pretty stiff, is there anything with a little more lift?

so im working on my budjet lift for my 89 xj, Ive heard that v8 zj coil springs will add a little lift but i was curious how much, i just picked up an extra set of leafs and was gonna add just the main leaf to my pack which as far as ive read should give me about 2 inches. will the zj springs...

right on, i think I'll have to try that, thanks all!

so my power locks on my 89 laredo dont work. i hit the button and i can hear and see the lock trying to move but it's like its not strong enough to move the lock. so i was thinking that since i can hear it and see it try to move its not the electrical part so could it just be linkage or...

it has power brakes (supposed to anyway). it just uses pressurized brake fluid from the peice of **** abs system instead of a normal vacuum booster

so how would i go about doing it with a non aresol can? mainly which vacuum line besides the brake booster line?

mines got the crappy bendix 9 abs. but isnt there a capped off vacuum line somewhere for if it did have a vacuum booster? where is that? or is there a better way?
