I hate to ask this question but none of the pics I’ve found are very good, and the diagrams are useless. For using a floor jack and placing jack stands on the front “frame” (to allow the front suspension to be completely free, is it correct that I can use the frame just behind the rear LCAs...

Inspection station idiot bent one of the LCA bracket bolts on my 2000 XJ. I assume that replacement is straightforward - remove the LCA rear bolt, remove the bracket to the front of the Jeep, then replace bracket and fasteners? Bigger issue is finding the part. It looks like it's discontinued...

Vehicle is a 2000 Sport with a lot of mods over the years. Still has the original Mopar radiator. Mods have included all the towing package options other than the radiator. I don't tow and don't really plan to, but having had a few parts go TU from pure age recently, I'm thinking about...

Greetings. Replaced both rear wheel cylinders as well as front hoses, calipers, pads and rotors. Bleed the master cylinder on a bench, reinstalled. Bled the brakes, first by foot (two person method), then with pressure bleeder. "Bled" the combo valve by cracking the flare nuts to let fluid...

I am replacing the front brakes from the brake hose out (hoses, rotors, calipers, pads, etc.). I would appreciate feedback on parts selection. For hoses, is there a difference in quality between aftermarket (like Crown) and Mopar? My XJ is not lifted so I don't need extended hoses. For...

I'm on vacation and don't have my paperwork with me - my XJ has the Mopar factory fog light kit for Jeeps that did not come from the factory with fog lights. I'm pretty sure the relay is bad. Because the fog lights were installed with the Mopar kit as a retrofit, the relays are not in the...

Does anyone have a source for ~1" over stock height front springs? I am thinking of aftermarket parts but if someone has p/ns for the Upcountry parts, I am thinking that would be the same? Vehicle in question is a 2000 XJ.

Question: how many "trips" (which from reading the FSM I think means cold-to-fully warmed up starts) does it take to get the OBDII system to record values for things like the catalyst? Background: My XJ is currently showing several emissions values as "n/a" or empty. State vehicle inspection...

As best I can figure looking at the FSM, the connectors for the power mirror and the power mirror with heat are the same - can anyone confirm that? I want to replace the OEM power mirrors in a 2000 XJ with OEM heated power mirrors. Thanks.

As part of my rear suspension overhaul, I'm replacing the very, very sagged factory leaf springs and got new bushings for the two spring eyes and the upper shackle. I was really surprised at how the factory bushing are set up. I don't know how many of you have replaced the factory bushings...

As posted earlier, even with extensive PBlaster use all 4 upper shock bolts on my '00 XJ snapped. I'm evaluating whether to drill and tap or just knock the nutserts out. I have some 8mm flanged nuts which would work great for the second option. My questions are: 1. If you knock the factory...

Quick question for the experts: are the upper shock bolts in late (2000, in this case) Cherokees metric (my guess) or SAE/fractional? Thanks!

I'm looking for recommendations for good, reliable dealer (or independent) XJ service in the Boston/MetroWest or eastern Mass. area. Nothing major - mostly want to get the AC recharged, but I want to make sure I'm dealing with someone who's going to do the job correctly...your suggestions...

QT lists three different rear leaf assemblies in their paper catalog. (The descriptions and numbers don't match the website...I'm assuming the paper catalog is probably more reliable but that is a guess rather than a fact.) Assuming the paper catalog is right, they sell: Standard duty 5.5"...

This is a long shot but I'm wondering if anyone successfully made a warranty claim for sagged rear leaf springs on an XJ? I have Chrysler extended warranty coverage for a few more months and I'm wondering if I can get them to replace my sagged rear leafs (16" rear vs 18" front) under warranty...

I think it's time to replace the sagging rear spring packs on my 2000 XJ. I measured the body last night at 18" in front and only 16" in the rear. It looks like there are at least three aftermarket sources for complete packs (I have pretty much decided not to go the helper spring route). They...

I'm wondering if I can use a Hi-Lift jack safely on my stock XJ? It has front and rear hitch receivers, so there is a sturdy, flat place to jack on...I think? How secure is this -- chances of the vehicle slipping off the jack? I am assuming that I can't/shouldn't use the hook-type adapter on...

Strangest collision last night. A younger driver didn't stop before pulling out into the travel lanes in a parking lot. I swerved the XJ away from him and must have made an arc around the nose of his Taurus sedan because the only part of my XJ showing any contact is the right rear tire (has...

A buddy snagged his 1999 XJ's speedo cable and broke it this weekend. What problems will this cause until it is replaced? Obviously the computer won't know how fast the vehicle is going (and neither will the driver :) ), and the cruise control and odometer won't work...I think that's all...
