I had to replace the hub bearings on my '97 XJ yesterday; my typical parts source was closed at the time I did it; at 6:30-ish PM on a Saturday I have 2 places to get parts from around here; either Useless Zone or Advance; I called both; they both had 2 different possibilities in stock; one at...

UPDATE; I rebuilt the front diff yesterday; I started it Thurs but didn't realize til I got it all apart, that Car Quest had sold me the wrong bearing kit; they sold me a "low pinion" kit and I have a high pinion; I didn't think of it at the time since it was the same exact kit I got, also from...

you don't say whether you want/need new or used or what size or tread design.... I say you want cheap check Craigslist... I got a set of 5 almost brand new Michelins for my 97XJ earlier this year; this is my wife's DD that never sees 4WD except for during the winter.... I got the reciept...

Yeah I can see where your criteria for "bad" would be; but in my cases both front and rear, what I have found is that upon disassembly, I remove the carrier and spin the yoke by hand before pullig the yoke nut and I can feel the "roughness" in the bearings as I spin them by hand; and so far it...

2 Cherokees and both with differential bearing issues on both ends of the vehicle; at what I think is "too low" of mileage to have those issues; neither of my Cherokees have been modified from stock, or run "offroad"; I have had other vehicles with Dana 30s, Dana 35s, (01 had that out back as...

the 318 is not fuel injected.... is an advantage NOT a drawback; and between a 318 and a 360; I'd take teh 318-hands down; the only waya (stock anyway) 360 wins out is in the number of fuel stops it will need. I have never been in a bind with a 318 that simply having had a 360 would have...

I am on my 2nd XJ; my 1st was a "police package" '01 with heavyduty everything and my current one is a 97 "Country" not so "heavyduty" but more "luxury" (compass tweed cloth seats, cruise cont, etc) During the 5 years I had the 01 I had to replace the rear end (Dana 35) because someone had...

I've taken a few off and welded them up and they hold fine.

Nevermind; I see that I basically repeated my last post in this thread..... but I will add that since my wife's "new" Jeep to replace that wrecked 01 happens to "only" a 97 Cherokee, (which I put on with the same coverages as the 01 had) and my TJ is also a 97, I am gonna have "that" talk...

depends on what you call "older"; I had an 01 Cherokee that I pd $6K for, 5 years ago; my son totalled it 2 days past this last Christmas; 5 years and 75K later, I got $6K back by having collision... granted I bought it "right, 5 years ago, paying $6K for a vehicle "then" worth $10.7K, according...

no problem. All the "major" companies make the typical sizes we'd be running on an XJ in both "P" and "LT"ratings; if you typically drive your XJ daily and don't load it down real heavy or tow "max capacity" all the time the "P" would be plenty as far as carrying the weight. the "LT's" are...

which would be "by" the oil filter (as you said) as at least that's the same end of the block!!!! but the oil filter is quite a bit lower on the block than the distributor;

Which Uniroyals??? They have several. FWIW I run 235/75R15 MICHELINS on both my Jeeps; LTX M/S on the Cherokee (wife's ride) and LTX-A/T's on the Wrangler. Michelins ARE worth the extra $$$ the last set were kellys and "60K" mile" rated but were shot after 25K miles. so I went back to Michelin...

not on any 5.2 I have ever seen; its on the back of the block next to the distributor.

I run Valvoline conventional 10-W-40 in everything I own. Engines stay clean and I rarely have engine trouble even with high miles. I change my oil about every 3K; if the oil still loooks relatively "clean" sometimes I'll go 4K but never any more. everything I have is cam in block (OHV) timing...

5/16 and 3/8 for a brake line? sounds way big. usually they are 3/16 occasionally I see them in 1/4" line. they go by inside pipe size.

I just sold a lo mile 99 TJ gearbox 2 weeks ago for $60. if yours is only leaking out the pitman seal, easy $12 fix.

:yeah-that::agree::scratch: I was wondering too as I'm also in Northern IL too.

there was a set of OE ones that appeared nice on Chicago CL from a 99 asking price was $50. I think that may have even been for the pair.

never heard of a 3.83 ratio. a 3.72 (a little "picky" here I know but never heard of that one probably actually 3.73) but; if you have what you say, that little bit of a swap will not be worth the work and xpense to go with. If I had to guess you probably HAVE 3.73s now. for the street a a good...
