Hi everyone, yet another question about my 99 xj with 140k miles. I have never replaced my front driveline u joints and i was wondering if i should with 140k miles on the jeep. I asked a mechanic friend of mine and he said no since it is only used when 4wd is engaged. I use 4wd about 1...

Hi Guys, The problem was a loose bolt from the transmission mount. Don't know how it got loose, but was able to get several turns out of it. I also replaced the transfer case shifter linkage TSB which helped with an occasional rattle and pop sound on acceleration.

Wow that is confusing... Thanks!

Hi, Could someone give me the torque spec for the 4 bolts from the transmission mount to the crossmember and the 2 bolts from the transmission mount to the the transmission? Been searching the internet for 30 mins and can't find it. Thanks,

Thanks everyone! Skywalkr, just wanted to clarify, the bushings on the swaybar, not the swaybar link?

Hi everyone I have a 99 xj with 140k miles. Anyway, I can feel/hear a slightly noticeable pop/stump sound under my feet whenever I hit the gas pedal from an idle position. It also does it when I come to a stop. It's seems like a loose bolt somewhere but I was hoping someone could point me...

Tim_mn are u referring to a local junkyard or an Internet site? Is so, what sites would you recommend?

Thanks guys for the help. Really appreciate it.

Hi Everyone, Did a search but could not find anything. Anyway, i have an intermiitted airbag light problem. It wasn't clockspring related since the horn works while the light was on. So, i cleaned the back cluster multiple times and replaced the back harness thinking that was the problem...

Hello everyone, I've done a search but couldn't find an answer. Hopefully, someone else has had a similar problem to help me fix my issues. First, my airbag lights go on and off Intermittently. I am able to hunk and make turn signals while the airbag light is on so i don't think its the...

I have replaced my motor mounts. Although it was cracked, it did not fix the clunk/thump problem while pressing the gas pedal and releasing the gas pedal while driving. I greased the slip yoke, so that didn't fix it either. I'm really stump on this. Any of the previous posters fix the...

I put some grease in the slip yoke but that didn't fix it. Greasing the slip yoke fixes a thump when you accelerate from a stop i think. This is related to a thump while you hit the gas pedal while you are allready moving. I checked out my motor mounts tonight and it difinitely has play...

hmmm... I did have my tranny mounts replaced. However, it was done at Midas. Stupid i know, but i learned from it and tried to do my own work after that. I'll try to see if the bolts are all correctly torqued. I was thinking about buying brown dog motor mounts. But before i do this...

Hello, I have searched but i couldn't fine anything. I have a 99 cherokee sport with 98k miles, 231 xcase, and 8.25 rear differentials. I am getting a thump, what seems like right under my seat whenever i tap the gas pedal or release the gas pedal. It will do it whether i am going 5mph...
