    Rear leaf springs

    It's time to replace the sagging leafs on my '99 XJ. It came with the Up Country suspension package. Should I go with the OEM springs, or are there better aftermarket offerings? I see them from vendors like General Spring and Crown Automotive.

    Bump stops inside coil spring

    When doing the brakes this weekend I happened to notice that the bump stops that fit in the bottom of the welded-on tube inside the coil spring are shot. One fell out and the other one is just a lump of rotted rubber. Where I can I get new ones? And how do they attach? I tried to reattach the...

    Replacing rear leaf springs

    My '99 has the Up Country package and is in need of fresh springs at the rear as it's starting to sag slightly. I have a choice of either the OEM ones (52002392AB ) or replacements from Crown (4886186) which cost half as much. Is there any reason to stick with the OEM springs or are the Crown...

    Adding driving lights to '99 XJ

    I am looking for a decent set of rectangular driving lights to add to my XJ. I prefer that they can be mounted in the OEM location inside the bumper end caps and not require anything more than basic drilling of holes or fabricating brackets. I've seen the cheap junk at the local auto parts store...

    Replacement headlamp bezels for '99 XJ

    I ended up with a busted LH headlight bezel/door on my '99 XJ thanks to a rock flung by another vehicle, now I need to replace it and have it painted. I see a lot of aftermarket ones on eBay, but is there a particular brand that fits well and isn't made of brittle el cheapo plastic? I seem to be...

    '99 XJ Instrument cluster problems

    My '99 XJ started weirding out on me today. Driving down the road at a steady 60mph, I suddenly saw the airbag light come on and the speedo went to zero. The tach also went dead as well. A few seconds later the gauges sprang back to life and the airbag light went out. Later it happened again...

    '99 XJ starting problems

    On my '99 XJ, 177K with the 4.0 and auto trans I've got an intermittent starting problem. When it's warm (such as after a long drive and stopping by the grocery store on the way home), when I get back in it and turn the key the engine will barely turn over. Let off on the key, try again and it...

    Limited slip doesn't limit the slip!

    My '99 XJ came with the traction differential, which was working fine until last winter. It was then that I realized that it was no longer doing its job. I assume the clutch packs are simply worn out. Everything is still factory stock. I'm not 100% sure if I have the Chrysler corporate rear end...

    Which tranny fluid and gear oil?

    I need to do a complete fluid change in my '99 XJ, but the only manual I have is vague about what specific fluids to use. Does an XJ auto tranny use Dexron III? Also, what about the gear oil for a locking differential? Just regular 80-90W lube? And do I need a friction modifier? Please no...

    Power window switch issue

    I couldn't find this in a search so I'll ask. The passenger side power window switch in my '99 occasionally fails to work. The thing is, after I use the master switch on the driver's side to move the window the passenger's switch will suddenly work again. Has anybody come across this anomaly...

    Oil filters short vs. long

    I got into a bit of an argument with a NAPA counterperson this morning. After reading the horror stories about Fram filters I decided to buy NAPA Gold filters instead, so I went in and asked for one for my '99 XJ. She came back with the short filter (Fram PH-16 equivalent, can't remember the...
