Hey! I need some help, right behind the front bumper of my 98 xj is a small round container with what appears to be a vacuum hose attached to it. I was told it's a vacuum container. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT IT'S FOR AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WAS GONE?
Also on 96s and older there container was twice the size, why?, and is it o.k. to put it in place of my smaller stock one?

I believe it helps run the HVAC and cruise control. You should keep it.

Size in this case really doe NOT matter. Many people relocate it up by the firewall on the passenger side.

Size doesn't matter it only matters that it's there. Without it the vacuum system will not be able to draw a accurate vacuum and certain things won't function because of it. Placement doesn't matter whether it's under the fender or under the hood as long as it's hooked up.

Why put in the bigger one? You were just told it doesnt matter what size it is. Just keep the one thats on there, unless you broke it or something.

I relocated mine to under the hood near the firewall, a little cramped there but out of the way anyway.

I no longer have the stock smaller one, I lost it. All I have is an older one that is bigger!
