I Had a Red Head and it only lasted 2000 miles before it developed ~ 4 inches of play. I had ordered the box a year earlier and the day before I was going to fit it I ruptured the disc in my lower spine so the box sat on my garage shelf for about 14 months so my warranty was out and they didn't...

2001 XJ, AW4, I6, AC I seem to be having a classic hot soak problem (rough running after re-starting the Jeep after a short stop at a store etc) although it's not been that hot out except for one or two days and now have a CEL P0303 no 3 cylinder misfire. I have had hot soak issues occasionally...

I am not sure about a 90 XJ but on my 01 XJ the shaft that connects to the steering box end slides inside the shaft that connects to the steering wheel end. Normally at the steering box end there is a splined couple joint where you just remove a single bolt then you pull the the whole u-joint...

Any further comments on suitability of these coil springs???

At the moment I am not sure if there is a problem with the springs. I think they are the original ones on the vehicle i.e. 15 years old and I am not sure if they are weak and if they are making some contribution to my cupped tires.

Thanks for the advice. Regarding the coil springs Jeep doesn't service these anymore. According to my build sheet the front coil codes are: Left front ZFKP Right Front ZUJP Crown automotive have a standard duty 16.5" coil but Codes are ZVF and ZGF and they have a heavy duty coil 17" Codes...

2001 XJ, AW4, 4.0 I6, 4WD, Stock height 18 months ago I put on Duratrac Tires (235/75/15 LT) and got a full alignment. These tires were slightly larger than the 225/75/15 I normally use and they cupped badly on the front. So I rebuilt most of the front end and replaced the following: Ball...

2001 XJ , I6, AW4 Normally I do all my own work but I got a herniated disc 6 weeks ago so I made the mistake of letting the stealership replace my rear shackles. They mangled the shackle bracket. It looks like they pulled the inner sleeve of the bushing through the bracket widening the hole and...

2001 XJ I6 AW4 I was looking to put 235 75 15's on my XJ which is mainly stock. I went to a few tire places with guys telling me an LT tire is too much tire for the Cherokee . They said the LT tire would be too stiff and would lead to worn out balljoints and the suspension isn't stiff enough...

Have you checked to see if the tire might be cupped. Cupping on deep tread tires can give the appearance of bouncing up and down especially if shocks are bad

Is it normal to have to remove the steering stabilizer bar to get the Pitman arm nut off

Thanks for all the advice I just wanted to clarify that I was referring to the stabilizer bar that looks a bit like a wishbone and attaches to the axle linkages and the body maybe I have used the wrong description for the part. This stabilizer bar seems to be preventing me from getting a socket...

2001 XJ, AW4, I6 I am replacing the steering linkage on the Jeep and had three questions: 1) Should I put anti-sieze on the tie rod threads that go into the tube or will that make it too slick for the clamps to get a good grip? 2) My Jeep is mainly stock and it looks like I need to remove the...

Thanks Don S appreciate the confirmation on the Torque Specs

2001 XJ, I6, AW4 My factory manual in the installation description says the torque specs are: 1/4 - 20 studs 120 in Ibs 5/16 - 18 studs 156 in Ibs but in the torque table at the end of the chapter they state different values 1/4 - 20 studs 84 in Ibs 5/16 - 18 studs 132 in Ibs Does anyone know...

I just fitted a new box and so I thought I would go to the stealership and put some oem spec ps fluid. They gave me Mopar +4 ps fluid they checked my vin and said that is the current fluid for my vehicle. This is the same as ATF +4 but they call it PS fluid +4. Its also got the red dye in it...

Thanks for the info Mechbullxj. Do you have any advice on whether to use blue loctite / nutlock when installing the cap, brace and starter motor bolts? Or should I just install the bolts dry.

So I'm planning to do my rear main seal and I've read some threads on this forum and internet and it seems there are some differences specifically with the 01 seals vs earlier years. The 01 has two semi circle shaped seal pieces vs one semicircle piece and a semicircle with ears on it for...

I think you are more likely to get it out with less damage if you use an impact gun. I would dial down the torque initially then gradually increase it until it breaks free. I wonder if anyone put red Loctite on the threads.
