99XJ 192k miles I think my compressor is at least 7-8 years old, and I believe it is going out. My car runs very smooth, but when the AC clutch engages the car shudders and vibrates very bad - no squealing noises but it is loud. When it disengages, the vibes go away. I've been running it like...

Hi All, I just replaced my steering box bracket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. I took it to my local shop for alignment. The guy said they got it mostly aligned, but that my camber and caster is off and that I will need shims and an offset ball joint to bring them back inline. He said...

I blew the dust boot on the TRE connecting driver side wheel to tie rod. Trying to remember which one that is so I can call NAPA and order a replacement. Pretty sure it is NCP 2692789 - Left;w/ Left Hand Threads;11/16" 18 Thread https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NCZ2692789 Sound right? Thanks!

I just replaced all the TREs in my front steering. I am all stock tires/suspension/etc. I drove it a few days, maybe 10 miles total. I was back under the car today checking on everything, and noticed a shit ton of grease all over the driver side wheel hub and rim. It had definitely burst/spewed...

I finally replaced my tie-rod ends. As I was greasing up the ball joints (Slowly), 3 of the 4 took about 20 pumps before grease started oozing out from under the boot. The drag link to steering knuckle took about 3 pumps before a shit ton of the original and new grease shot out the side. The...

It's being a real PITA. I've got a HF TRE puller and have been slowly tightening it down, spraying PB, then beating on it with a hammer. My question is... do I need to remove the steering damper from the axle first? I want to make sure I am not hurting the damper trying to push it off the drag...

99 XJ Limited Automatic 4WD 190k miles all stock daily driver Hi all, Recent troubleshooting here led to realization I need to replace my steering box bracket, as well as the tie rod ends. My googling tells me that while I'm there, I may as well replace ball joints too. I've never greased or...

99 XJ Automatic stock suspension 190k miles I have a faint popping/knocking sound that can only be heard from inside the cabin. It seems to be coming from under the driver seat floorboard. You can hear it popping erratically (like popcorn) when sitting still, and it is definitely worse in gear...

99 XJ I installed the APN exhaust header a while back. I have the 98 head, so I didn't have to file down header to make it fit. It slid right on and was very firm fitting. I've been chasing rough idle and I am pretty sure it was an exhaust leak at the donut. I could tell it was kinda at an...

Local dealership refuses to tell me the Part Number for a 99XJ L6 IAC Valve. They want $155 for the part :looney: According to wermopar.com; its 4874373AB. Rockauto has the same PN marked as geunine OE. However on Amazon people gave it negative reviews saying its actually Crown Automotive and...

Was digging around for vaccum leaks on the 99 XJ. There is a very distinct mechanical clicking/whirling sound that is intermittently happening somewhere near the air intake of my intake manifold. It almost sounds like one of those sensors there. It'll make the nosie for like 10-15 seconds...

I know its discussed a lot, but I was hoping for some advice on where the source of my vibrations may be coming from. 99 xj 4.0l automatic I recently did a ton of work on it, and it runs great but I have a pretty annoying vibration problem. I installed brown dog rubber motor mounts and after...

So long story here, but I basically want to thank everyone for their help. This website was my go-to place over the past 6+ months. I've learned a lot and (mostly) enjoyed my time working on jeeper. 99 XJ automatic, 188k miles, had it for 13 years now (got it when I was 17 with ~71k miles)...

99 XJ 4.0L I recently replaced the entire cooling system: new CSZ radiator, gates water pump, thermostats & thermostat housing, overflow bottle, and hoses I hooked everything up, and poured about 2 gallons distilled water into the radiator cap. Started it up and let it sit for a few minutes...

I have a 99XJ, but I have just come to realize its an early 99 with the 98 head (0630). I realized this when putting my 99 manifold gasket on and it didn't quite line up. I swapped out my water pump the other day, and used the 99 FelPro gasket for 0331 head: 99 Felpro Water Pump Gasket The 98...

Hello all, Two questions. In the middle of replacing the entire cooling system. First, I was told to put teflon tape on the water pump inlet tube before attaching to the pump. I ordered a dorman one, but it came with a red paint looking seal on it already. Should I put teflon over that? Peel...

Never mind - delete me.

99 xj 4.0L with 188k miles I have some questions about getting the head cleaned/rebuilt. I've done some digging around but still feel unsure of it all. My engine is pretty much completely disassembled at the moment, so I've had several people tell me to remove the head and have it...

I flushed my block and water/coolant got all over my timing cover. Should i be concerned or will the gasket be ok once it dries out? Just curious. Do people have a good method to keep water out from on top/behind timing cover when the water pump is out? Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

Gor my new timing chain on. Rotated the old timing chain until the cam and crank sprocket alignment marks were inside and pointing at each other like FSM shows. I removed the timing chain as an assembly, then realigned the new timing chain assembly in the same way and put back on to the...
