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...

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...

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...

So I am just about to start my engine after 2 years standing. I have read a lot of threads saying to squirt some magic marvel oil, engine oil or WD40 into spark plug holes then let it soak before hand cranking with a wrench. I am concerned this will harm the catalytic converter. Then a...

2001 XJ, I6, AW4, Power steering I know that there are a lot of bad reviews for the boxes available at the chain autopart stores but any opinions on the NAPA boxes vs Autozone, Advance etc? I did call Red Head and they didn't seem to have a stock box which is 14:1 gear ratio they offered me an...
