Front disc brake locked up smoking and almost caught fire. I know drum brakes but never touched disc brakes. How do I get the pads to unlock and what may cause this? Had xj towed home and its my only DD and gotta work tomorrow. Thanks! Ken

And NAPA says its a stealership part and stealership says its a "Do Not Service" part! WTF???? This is the simple retainer that goes over the outer axle spindle nut. The one that has bent over tines and a cotter pin goes in to hold the nut on. The stealership even said the cotter pin is a "Do...

Anyone been over the grader road on Mt. Washington? Enter by the Cog Railway go up and over and end up on Rt 2? Thinking that then Jefferson Notch road would be a good day trip. All washed out dirt roads. (after the snow melts, read they got 22' !) Just wondering how difficult it is?

Seen them but cant find them. Black wire mesh covers that only cover the headlight for brush guard. Thanks, Ken Ps: was told JCWhitneys wont fot 90' xj. ?

Not the steering wheel thats loose but the center portion of the column where it swivels. Has about an inch of loose play both up/down and left/right (at steering wheel). What do I need to repair or replace? Any special tools required? Thanks, Ken

Which I believe it says right on the dipstick.

Anyone mounted 6x9's in their xj? I have two I want to add with an amp and not sure where to start looking to mount them. Does under back seat stay cool enough for an amp? (I have read that some put them there.) Thanks, Ken

Rear defrost and cig./assesory plug dont work. Dont have a manual and not sure which fuses to check. Defrost looks to be in working order (all solder joint in tact, etc.. Thanks, Ken

Did search and found old threads (03'-04') on adjusting linkage (cant find em again now) but they did not say if it was for standard/auto and did not explain well for a newb. Mine will not go into 4Low. Seems to stay in a neutral function. Both 4highs work well no prob. I really need step by...

Just got xj on road and front end needs help. All bushings are dry rot and cracked. Some items may be past tense anyway. If I were to add new front end parts one at a time (over time) on a stock (will add 2" lift soon) 90'xj, in what order should I add them and what can I add now that will work...

Has anyone used two long leafs for a BB AAL? More precisely: Im buying oem style Hd leafs which has a longer leaf below the main leaf. Looking at the pic its not a "full" leaf but about 1 1/2" shy of full. If I use the old main leaf cut to full length (which is badly sagged) and add it between...

Tried all suggestions for getting into pt4low and no go. Acts like its in neutral. So for adjusting the linkage (upon using search) is the correct method for a 90'xj 242 to put in 4low and retighten clamp there? Thanks, Ken

I've been told more than once that there is a way to measure the front tires and do a home version of a front end alignment. I just want to get it somewhat close to check for other issues right now. Where/how do I take the measurements? The front tires do have identical tread ware if that...

I have a switch on the dash that I would guess is for fog lights. All the pics I have seen show factory lights on top of the front bumper. I have the switch but no holes on bumper. Just curious as to whats up? The pic on switch is a light w/beams angled downward w/squiggly verticle line through...

90' xj 2" sag in rear original stock leafs.... I plan on getting Quadratecs HD oem style leafs as I need new ones and low on cash. I want a 2" BB. IIRC the new leafs have the longer 2nd leaf like the BB 2" bastard pack. 1) Should I reuse the long leaf (minus eyelets) from my old sagging set...

Looking for any updated info/articles on ditching 90' vac lock system and going cable lock (DIY?) on front D30. Pros/cons? Found an older article from an earthlink site on a $20 DIY job. Anyone done that one and does it last? Not looking for a $$$$$$$$ locker system. Just getting rid of the...

When in 4x4 does all 4 tires work? I vaguely recall many 4x4's are actually 3x4's (three wheels drive) Checked my rear D35 and back tires spin opposite so it is a limited slip? I did read all the posts on what percentage goes to front/rear in different 4wd set up. Does limited slip mean only 3...
