Oops- deGreased. Ugh.
Well, I think the PS leak was the deal. That's fixed now, plus we decreased the motor, and all looks well. We'll see!
Thanks for the replies!
Junior had the hood insulation blanket smoldering and almost on fire the other day- just forward of intake, directly above PS pump and steering box. I can't think of anything in that area that might...
Any drawbacks to one wheel offset versus the other? The 33's that he wants to keep have more of an offset (tires pushed out further away from truck- can't remember which way is "positive" and which...
WOW- that would be a relief! What are the odds, lol? I'm wondering if the black one has the rear leaf kit, because it has no blocks, and less leafs in the stack than the blue one, which also has 1"...
Hey all- you might recognize the blue xj from the "Death Wobble" thread I started a few days ago. After spending a couple days going over Rybob's "blue," we came to the realization that it just...
I just drove it around the block, and over the same stretch of road that I was on (same lane even) when I first experienced the wobble the other day. I was going a bit faster tonight, and when I hit...
I've only found one thing loose so far- the track bar was VERY loose at the frame end. When I grabbed the bar and shook it, it chattered, and I noticed that there was probably 1/8" of slop where...
Perfect- thanks!
That being said, after having my wife turn the wheels from side to side while I watched underneath, I noticed a few things.
1- the whole axle seems to actually move laterally...

Okay- could I have some "bar identification 101" training here?
In the above pic, please...
I guess you're right about breaking his heart, lol. There I go thinking like a Dad instead of a young un', lol. I'll start digging around underneath looking for anything loose and/or elongated. I...
So, am I correct in assuming that likely the best place to start would be by removing the 2" spacers? Sounds like they're a cosmetic-only jury-rig to me, that just exacerbates any problems that DO...
Could I get some definitions on the acronyms used in this post?
"tre bar"
"trackbar"
"tres"
I'm not familiar with these coil spring suspension setups, so the names of the parts are somewhat...
So here are some pics of the beast. Wondering if anyone can identify the brand and height of lift? Shocks are Rancho. Steering stabilizer is very covered with oil, lol, so not sure of brand, but...
Well, I just drove it less than a mile to Discount Tire for a balancing, and it happened to me TWICE! The first time was at 35 mph, I hit one little bump in the road and BAM! It felt like the front...
I'll check into that tomorrow- thanks!
AWESOME feedback- thanks! I'll start with a rebalance tomorrow then and go from there. The tires are Good Year 33's, that look by the date code to be a couple years old with less than 50% tread...
So, junior's 90 lifted XJ has a rather disconcerting habit while driving. I've not experienced it myself, but his description is as follows. The drive typically starts out with no issues. After...
My son's 90 4.0 has an oil leak that I'm trying to diagnose. The emissions junk has been removed from the rig, ie the airbox, etc. The forward hole in the valve cover I believe originally contained...
