Caliper Anchor Plate

Anyone know if the 98 XJ's have a caliper anchor plate that bolts to the steering knuckle? Or is it all one unit on the later years?
I'd like to replace mine, as one of the holes is stripped to the caliper bolts.
I have not looked underneath it today, so I was just asking on this forum.
Nor did I notice when I helicoiled the other stripped hole. I may helicoil the 2nd hole if a seperate anchor plate is not available. As that one is somewhat stripped as well.

thanks folks
 
98 knuckles DO NOT have a seperate bolt up bracket like the 89 and olders do.

98s you must replace the whole knuckle.

If you have luck with helicoil go for it, but if it was me I would change the knuckles and then never let some monkey work on the brakes that donesn't know what he is doing. 98s shouldn't be bad already. :(
