This may be a stupid question, but have patience with us mechanically impared folks. I haven't found this situation on the site anywhere.
I had disconnects installed on my '88 XJ. I'm not sure they are the correct part or installed correctly. (Done by 4X4 shop).
First of all, are they both supposed to point the same direction? The bars the disconnects fit onto both face to the right of the jeep.
The first problem I had with them was that each time I hit a bump when they WERE NOT disconnected, the top would push it's way through my air cleaner box. After replacing the box, I lifted the jeep further with 2" coil spacers and so far that's been better. (although now the jeep drives like a boat on the highway).
My second problem came when I put new wheels and tires on. Now I can't make a sharp left turn without the right disconnect bar (the one that faces outward toward the right side of the jeep) badly scraping on the inside of my wheel.
Are the disconnects wrong, or can only greatly backspaced wheels be run on an XJ with disconnects? Thanks for any advice! :banghead:
