92 XJ 4.0 AW4 All of a sudden my ignition key cylinder decided not to work correctly. When I came home from work today and parked, I put the shifter in Park and went to turn it off. The key turned off the Jeep, but wouldn't rotate all the way to off. The steering wheel lock did not engage. It...

92 XJ with a case of death wobble. 2" lift. no other major mods. I have read a lot of the threads (for years, actually), but still have one question. How tight should the track bar really be? I don't mean the actual bolts that secure it in place. I mean how much wiggle is O.K.? It has bushings...

Rear axle play -how much is too much? '92 XJ 8.25" open While changing the diff fluid, I had the Jeep up on jack stands so I could spin the tires and take a look around inside. I can spin a tire a full inch of travel before it hooks up with the other side. The ring rotates along with the pinion...

92 XJ Working on a Virgin 8.25. Any trick to getting the rear shafts out? Special tools? Do I need to open the pumpkin? I have heard that the backing plate bolts should not be reused. Are they anything special, or will Grade 8s do?

So, why does my steering wheel ooze black goo? ('92 leather wrapped). Doesn't look too good on my khakis.

I actually managed to replace my toasted AW4 all by myself almost. Only took me 3-1/2 months.:laugh: Beat that, Speed Boys.

'92 4.0. 210,000. I am in the middle of replacing my AW4, which entails tearing apart pretty much everything under there. I am doing the radiator & engine mounts at the same time, and probably the cat too. Considering all of the time I have invested in this thing, should I also go ahead and...

Well, I guess I am some kind of special guy, 'cause I just blew up the "bulletproof" AW4 in my '92. Not wining, really. Just looking for a little post mortem diagnosis. Was doddling down the interstate doing 65, it downshifted going up hill, then downshifted again, then again, then a big cloud...

Well, I found another reason why the Factory Service Manual is just a cruel joke. I am convinced that it is a communist plot to seduce me into thinking I can do my own repairs, when in fact, the real mechanics of the world laugh derisively at my self inflicted misadventures. I had a grinding...

'92 XJ. 2" lift, 30s. My front end has had the dw @ 55mph ever since I got it 60K ago, so it might be time to start replacing parts, LOL. Tie rod ends I understand, but what about ball joints? NAPA lists what they call "offset" upper ball joints in 1/2degree, 1d, 1-1/2d and 2d. I guess these...

I am in the middle of replacing the axle end upper control arm bushings (it got dark). The bolts are out (that was fun). Other than a couple shots of PB Blaster and a BFH, are there any secrets to pressing the bushings out and installing the new ones? We are talking about a '92 rust belt XJ. I...

I have a '92 4.0 AT with some wiring problems related to the TPS. My mechanic suspects that the PCM is bad too. I am having the wiring fixed, then we'll see, but...are any of the 91-94 HO PCMs interchangable? They have different parts numbers year to year, but does that really mean anything? Why...

I am setting to replace the front drive shaft u-joint, driver's side, on my '92 XJ. I have it out and cleaned up and what I don't see are any snap rings holding the caps in. Am I missing something here?

...to remove the front axle hub nut. You know, that big 36mm one. Seems to be a little tight after 17 years.

Where do I find the Engine VIN? 90 4.0. NAPA is asking for the engine VIN. Should be an "L" or a "U".

90 4.0 Renix. From another thread I asked about low idle, it was suggested that I check my EGR valve. The plunger does go in and out, but the engine will stumble & die. I plugged off the EGR valve and all the associated ports, and the thing runs fine. I intend to replace the EGR when I can get...

OEM am/fm cassette. No display. Radio works fine. Is there a lightbulb someplace, or is it dead? Not even a faint image.

The P.O. had an open element air filter and ran the big hose off the valve cover to a coke bottle catch can. As you can imagine, it was a big mess. I put it back to stock with new hose assemblies, all the open vac ports are accounted for, the EGR is hooked back up...but now I have a Low Idle. It...

Radio, turn signals, blower motor, windshield wipers & horn all cut out at the same time. Where should I start looking?

Steering column bearing replacement. Anyone tackled this job on their own? The FSM says to remove the column from the Jeep. I can see the thing. It's just beyond the turn signal cam gismo. Any hints on removing the column? Wierd fasteners/clips I should be aware of?
