Tighten it some more. What seems tight for some rigs is just where the I6 is starting to get tight. Little at a time until the squealing stops.

Correction. Prior to 95, the AX-15 was a 23 spline short. Post 95 it was a long. According to the chart, your 93 auto should be a 23 spline medium.

This quote would more likely be your "Rule of Thumb" Anthrax. The LS was always a special order item even back in the day (pre 1990?) when the "Upcountry" package included that rare 3.73 gear package you also thought you had in your 2001. The percentage of forest service, police, and public...

Everything I have read on the TC sye for ax-15 xjs points out that none (not one) of the commonly available driveshafts normally considered for the aw4 sye are long enough. That leaves you having to have one custom made by (whomever). Count on (whomever) charging you around $300 unless you...

Of course fluid can be added to the upper ARB hole. The ruffstuff covers are bullitt proof and have a drain plug option.

Probably not. If it's a stick it could be 3.07's. Auto 3.55's. Count one tire rotation versus the yoke rotation(s) and estimate a partial rotation ie...roughly 3.5 rotations equals a 3.55 etc.

That paper tag on the axle could be telling you that it had been replaced within the first 7k miles for whatever the reason. I too, was under the abs/d35 impression.

I've had mine for three years running and they have held up great. My xj is a heavy hauler with tools and materials at times. Nearly 50k on them so I am looking at my options for future shocks but am not in any hurry.

Finding a replacement front axle assembly (96 to 99 year range would work out well for you for a couple reasons) will be easy if your xj is an auto with 3.55 gearing. If your unit is a four banger, it would be tougher to find that front axle due to it's rarity (4.10 gearing). Your differential...

No. The ebrake cables on that D35 your getting will not work on your 97 body style. The older style xj has a center mount ebrake connection ( two equal length cables) whereas the newer style has an off center connection point(one shorter and one longer cable) for its ebrake. Re use your old...

Your question raises questions. Your 709T compressor only mounts one way.

A drain plug? Do I win?

Your airbag is triggered mechanically and specs I've read say it usually takes more than a 20-25 mph impact to do so. Do not be confused by later model bag instructions. The 96 and 95 airbags are the same and simple to remove and replace. Even though yours has already blown, the process is the...
