Good info, thanks!

I knew "they" were going to close that thread, lol.

It kinda sucks, my cat. rattles bad on my 98 4.0, looks like I can't get myself a free one, bummer.

Maybe I'll just hollow out my cat and call it good...

the cat rattles a lot because of something loose inside, its super annoying. hopefully they'll just replace it with a new one.

I believe some 98-99 models where effected as well, worth a check with your local dealer....if not, I'd recommend a Magnaflow direct fit cat.

98 Cherokee Cat
Hello,

I see a few things around the internet that the cats on this Jeep rust through and need replacing. I got a Jeep with this exact problem, the O˛ sensor has rusted around the connection and is no longer part of the cat.

However, I put the Jeep's VIN in and nothing comes up for a cat recall.

Is this something I can take to a shop and have them replace it under a recall?
