I have a 90 as well. Carefully check the height of them on the counter compared to your old ones. There was a change at some point. I got home, got it all buttoned up, and the brake disc is in a bind, wheel wont turn. Check them close. Timken fine by me, although I didnt know they are...

I run the same setup and I vote that you are fine. Mine does that on slickrock trails in Moab. Steering will get tight and tires chirp a little. Pavement providing same effect. I never hear my front ratchet either, just the back. And RCP is right, dont do that on pavement. I test my 4wd in...

My fix was right under and right of the steering wheel under the dash. Up under there where the emissions timer is. Its a vacuum servo motor. Toyed around and plugged i believe it was the blue fitting. Fixed the defrost problem. Check it out.

Ive had them go blank in the house in a shoebox. Total scam. At least now some of them keep your phone number for warranty. Oreilly has good paper.

Just to the right of the steering wheel under the dash there is a vacuum servo motor that controls the vent positions. I located the right color one, i think it was blue, removed it from the servo, and plugged it with a golf tee. fixed it. Dont ask me how taking one of them out of play fixed it...

Fearing for your life is a bit extreme. The design sucks on this thing. As mentioned, you must take off the drag link or a tre to adjust toe. and it rolls when you turn the wheel, giving a lot of slop in the steering. As far as the same price point, I dont know man, Id be tempted to get a...

Some restaurants are like that. You basically pay them with your time to then turn around and make them money. Total BS. But folks are willing to do it to earn money. My trail partner goes through this. "You will make a ton of money" translates to "Someone will make a ton of money." He worked at...

Mine does this too. Annoying to say the least. Im wondering what the grease in the joints and TRE's looks like? Does it turn into a liquid-ish state? Thus reducing lubricating qualities? Or is it all in my head? Discuss.

I was about to replace my tranny too, went to a shop had a guy hook up a computer and drive it. said new tps needed. 50 bucks later it drove like a new ride. couldnt believe it. that was 8 years ago and many miles back.

I went to just about every junk yard in houston a few years back when i did my 44 swap. There was none to be had. And even with all those yards on north shephard, no dice. Go put eyeballs on what they have, I was told over and over that they have one only to look under and find an oval case...

Pulled the oil pan a few times over the years to do various work, main seals, oil pump, rod bearings, etc. You all know the pain of getting the pan back in without knocking the gasket off, even with a lift. Finally had the engine on a stand and did the most beautiful pan gasket job, all torqued...

i need a gas tank

Where is that yard at in Austin?

Yes thats it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. i found some on a website out of montana. they are like 12 bucks each. Im gonna look around a little more, but im likely going to have to order a few. Thanks again.

sorry. double post.

very good info. I guess im right to respect this driveshaft. I looked it up on stu offroads write up site, and what im looking for is the dust cover. it is missing on this shaft. is this crucial? looks almost like steel in the photo on that site, but its rubber. have all the shafts youve done...

I appreciate the input. What have you seen fail the most on the ones youve rebuilt? joints or center ball? Sorry to bombard you with questions, gearing up for Moab next month and its a long way from here.

No the rubber boot that surrounds the centering ball. the shaft i got from the yard didnt have one. I replaced the centering ball and joints. just doesnt have the boot like my 90 stock front shaft does. Question is does that boot around the centering ball hold in the grease? guy at the local...

I just rebuilt the double cardan shaft that im running in the rear with the sye. are you saying that without the rubber boot that it will fail?

Good timing, I just got back from the parts house where i replaced one of the tie rod ends. 39 bucks for moog. If i had it to do over again, I would get something else. Not sure which one sucks, but if you look at it, the design is bad. its almost impossible to align. you have to take a tie rod...
