Trading out my first suspension part tomorrow and looking forward to it, nuts already broke loose, lots of PB. Trading out my old worn out OEM track bar for an OEM Moog, on my 96 XJ.
First question. The trucks up on ramps right now. With that in mind, should I expect any kind of lurching when I break the current track bar out? I just want to make sure there isn't any tension in the track bar right now that I'll be letting loose unexpectedly.
Second...that's a fairly tight spot up there by the frame bracket, so I'm not really sure if I'll be able to get the 81 N*m or 60 ft-lbs the FSM is calling for but I'll try. Any suggestions?
Third...the new piece came with a bag of parts including a nipple looking thing with threads on one end. The bag says 'attn: this bag may contain self tapping grease fittings for threaded and non-threaded holes. Lastly, there's a small hole in the new piece at the bottom of the end where it articulates with the frame bracket. I'm assuming I stick this nipple thing into a socket and thread it through that hole, and use it later to lubricate that joint? I know that's a really simple questions. I really do need to get up on lubing and get the right guns.
Thanks for the continued help.
