The springs can't be rotated because they sit in the groove at a specific spot. As far as the steering stops go, I thought of that but I'm still not getting full steer. That would be a somewhat temporary fix til I figure out the tie rod issue. I like the fact that I don't have to make 100...

I just got the OTA bracket from Rusty's offroad for my OTK steering conversion. It's pretty straight forward and easy to install with about an hour of grinding and welding. You completely remove the factory trac bar and steering stabalizer mounts off the axle. I don't know if this will work...

Okay, I purchased a Rusty's HD Trac bar like 2 years ago and installed it. It worked good for what I needed it for but it always rubbed against the trac bar bolt on the axle. I decided I would upgrade to a OTK setup and used the $10 inserts for the knuckles to put the tie rod on top and I got...

I contacted 4WD which contacted Omix Ada who bought Alloy USA's stock. They said they will send me a handfull of needle bearings. I made it out to be their fault for missing some so they were apologetic and said they'd send them right away.

You can get Alloy USA X-Joints from 4WD Hardware for 35.99 plus tax and shipping. They have the solid center like the 760 and grease fittingson each cap so you can still grease them and have the strength of a 760. I just installed a set myself and they seem pretty sturdy only thing is I lost 3...

The Alloy USA joints have longer bearings than the spicer joints that were in there

The old ones were spicer ones. The new x-joints bearings are longer and appear to have slightly fatter bearings.

Okay so I was putting a set of Alloy USA X-Joints into my front axles today. I'm not sure whether it was mine or the factory's fault. I was about to finish up the project and looked into the one cap and noticed 3 bearings missing. I just spent $35 on these joints and don't really have the cash...

I was putting the last cap in today and before i put it in I looked inside it to verify no needle bearings were out of place or missing. When I did I noticed it was missing like 2 or 3 needles. Is their any way to get replacements? I really don't wanna spend another $35 for a joint.

As far as I know their is no such thing as a 760 joint with the hollow center for grease. I think he might have been comparing the Alloy USA X-Joints to a Spicer 297. If that's the case I can see why the center would have been smaller. As far as the strength difference between the Spicer 760...

I'm pretty sure the Alloy USA Joints I got are overkill for the stock axles. It would be pointless to buy $200 joints for throw away axle shafts. Hopefully by the time I break a factory shaft I'll have the cash for a set of alloy shafts and CTM or Yukon Joints. But since I wheeled it for like 3...

I went with the 760 from Alloy USA. They've got the stronger solid center and grease fittings out at the end of each cap. They were about the same price as the spicer 760s as well. Only thing that sucks is Alloy USA went out of business so I got a few spares just incase. I'm going to try and...

So I put a set of pre greased sealed u joints in the front axle shafts of my 95 XJ about a year ago. When I was doing the regearing I noticed the one was binding. I took it apart and the bearing were rusty. My question is should I use a set of 297 spicer joints with a grease fitting or get a set...

I know this is the Zj tie rod setup but I see a lot of over the knuckle talk. I've been running a Rustys HD Steering setup for about a year now http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=RS-SC250-UV&Category_Code=ste I noticed with this setup being larger it rubbed on...

I know this thread is sort of dead but from what I hear the D-Ring versions are mounted a lot different and have more attachment points. Anyone shed some light onto this for me? I love the looks of this bumper and it's about one of the cheapest out there but will it crumble the first rock I tap...

So to clear things up, which one did we finally decide on? Seems like the Napa is a no go cause it leaks somewhat and is tight. The 471763 seems to be working for now and Eric recommended 470160. So which one will work better? National #471763 National #470160 NAPA CR11800

The problem is either way you look at it I need cables because right now with the stock XJ cables when I flex they are REALLY tight. And I didn't get the cables from the ZJ

My 95 XJ needs new front rotors soon. I was thinking of getting drilled/slotted rotors. Aside from the fact that they are a couple bucks more is their really any downfall to offroading with them? I do about 90% on road driving with it. Figured i would ask around about them just wanted to add a...

I have a 95 Cherokee which I have broken the threaded part of my adjustable trac bar a few times. The previous time was because I failed to put thread locker on my jam nut. This time it seems to be the hole in the axle mount being egged out. Right before it broke I looked under while someone...
