I'm trying to write up a list of everything I need to fix my XJ. (Parts, etc).
1998 Cherokee Sport 4dr 4wd
I will start with everything I can hear and notice.
1. Easy xjer helped with my alignment a tad bit. But For somereason when im going 40+ if I let go of my steering wheel it turns to the right very slightly causing my truck to "turn to the right" slightly. It seems I have to fight it to stay on the road at higher speeds. This problem has been going on since I got my track bar re-heated/re-bent and my new steering stabilizer (Offroading incident)
2. After that incident as well my airbag light is now on and now I have "manual" turn signals. I think that maybe my clockspring is broke?
3. My real tailgate can be a bit of a bitch to open. You have to push in real fast then pull out to open the door. And I have to close it on a piece of paper towel to stop the door from clunking when I hit bumps.
4. From what easy xjer told me I got 3 55 gears in my front end. I would like to learn about the different gears and what I would needs if I get bigger tires and lift. I would like to know what axles I have and if they are good.
5. On my sway bar, I was replacing the bushing and as I was putting my sway bar back on, I snapped the weld that you bolt the bolt into. So I have 3 good bolts and one loose bolt. I believe this may be making most of the sound while hitting bumps and on the trail. I'll take pictures.
6. My 98 has 260k miles on it. I got it about 2-3 months ago. I would like to do a tune up. But havent had the funds to support it yet. Is there a comprehensive guide to really tuning up my truck?
7. Could the rear of my truck be very stiff? My truck is just very loud. I dont believe my truck has ever really been taken off road. Just freeway mileage.
PICS!!!!!!!:farmer:
and last but not least, a kitteh.
Thank you all.
