Went on a short drive to a store the other day. As I backed out of a parking spot I heard a noticeable "clunk" and thought it was because I hadn't driven the XJ in a while. Upon arriving home and looking underneath, I found the draglink to be hanging down and the complete bolt/nut or whatever was missing from where it attaches to the axle. So I need to find me another bolt and the local junkyard doesn't have any XJ's to steal from! Does anybody have a parts diagram of the front end of a 1999 Jeep XJ, 4dr, 4.0 with auto transmission?

 

It wouldn't have been very driveable without the drag link attached. Maybe the trackbar?

 

Yep its the track bar....my nomenclature failed me! I remember when I pulled my spare Dana 30 from the U-PULL-it yard that I had to get a saws all to cut that same bolt to pull it. Now I need one...if anyone has a part number, size, or a website where I could get one it would be much appreciated!

 

The bolt is an M10x1.5 x 70mm long, grade 10.8. The original nut was a flag nut, but you can substitute a regular nut and lock washer. It's just a little harder to get the nut in place and hold it. Original torque spec is 55 ft-lbs.

 

My manual shows torque to 74 ft. lbs.

 

Thanks for the correction.

 

Thanks for your assistance lawsoncl and Superslow. Will commence my search for the correct bolt tomorrow!

 

Of all places, Advance auto has the correct bolt and locking nut! The XJ will be back on the road in no time. Thanks again!
