Ok, this is my first XJ and I like it. It is a 92 4.0 ax5 3" lift 31's. Here is the problem, sometimes when I shift in to 4th or 5th the thing will pull to the right, sometimes a little sometimes quite a bit. Trany mount is new, motor mounts seem to be good. Previous owner put new OEM mounts in. Any ideas?

You just go get new lower control arms, pretty cheap thru Quadratec or even AZ. You can get new bushings, don't know how expensive they are though. Red92-- you might want to check with Vernon, he has a spare set of LCA's you could put the new bushings in and then put them on so you could test the situation. :spin1:
BTW if you are going to change your LCA's take a ratchet strap, put it around the axle on the side you are working on and the swaybar, tighten, and then you don't have to fight with the axle to get the LCA back in place!

good call on the ratchet strap, when i took mine off i didnt use the strap and it slid backwards and i had to use the OEM jack to get it back into place. That little jack can come in handy, remember that....

Swaybar would be a minor cause but not highly probable. LCA's can be swapped out in 30 minutes with hand tools not difficult at all. Don't even think about it until I get back from Vacation!!red922dr said:

You'll need two per side (they're the same front and rear), and you're best off doing both sides at once. Just did mine recently on my 2001; total cost for parts from the dealership was around $40 for all four after tax. I'd assume an earlier model would be about comparable.
