Front Axle Vac Lines
when working on new lift tonight I noticed tje green vacuum line was broken off. I assume it has a 90 on it and plugs into side fitting. So I raised one front wheel and turned wheel to see if driveshaft turned and it did. Is this correct?

Take those vac lines out and do this instead: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showth...589&styleid=15
Much more reliable.

Tonight my main concern is to see if its locked. I believe it is. If I hook up the green vac line to the side will it unlock it? And what about the cable upgrade? Are yhey worth a crap?

Anything on the cable lock setup? Im interested in that for sure. And ny CAD repair do you mean the link? Wouldnt it be more wear on front axle to run with it locked?
