OK, after putting new HD/higher-rate front & back springs on our '94, I noticed that the upper shackle bushing on the right wasn't so good. It's still functional, but it does slide around, so the rubber is starting to rot (typical AZ problem). I'm toying with the idea of going to a slightly...

I've been getting ready to do a spring repair/upgrade in out '94 XJ for some time, and *finally* got a chance to do the basic installation over last weekend. This was to remove the tired/sacked stock springs, and install new springs that collective wisdom here said should be the rough equivalent...

OK, if I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-Joint-Press-Adapters/dp/B0002T5U2C Is this enough to get the stock ball joints done? Or is the specialty products #41570 sleeve set really necessary? If I don't have the sleeve set, how many more beers is the job?

Maybe this belongs in "modified", but I thought I'd start here. Back around November '05 when I swapped motors in our '94, I removed the worn rubber splash mat that goes under the engine (and presumably protects the accessories from water). It's shot, and is sitting in a corner of the garage...

While taking care of some loose ends in our '94 this afternoon, I asked my wife to rock the wheel while looking underneath for the source of some growing steering play (it's really loose when cold, with a creak, but improves with heat). I expected that the steering box would have a problem, but...

OK, subject Jeep is our '94 XJ with six and AW4/NP242. Decided just to put a Jasper reman in it instead of fooling with rebuilding myself, I think it's less hassle for us in the long run. Said engine for swap is sitting on a pallette in the garage, and I'll probably start this weekend. With the...

OK, I'm going to put this one on the board... In the process of de-griping our 155Kmi '94 (4.0, 4wd, AW4), one of our gripes was a scraping noise in the engine/transmission interface. Basically, there's this metallic "chatter" noise at the frequency of crankshaft rotation that manifests itself...

OK, the saga of bringing our "new" '94 XJ (with 154K miles) back to decent condition continues... One of the first things we noticed after a weekend trail trip (with a few highway miles) was that the driveline shook some. In fact, it shook badly over 60mph after 50-60 miles. Worst vibration can...
