True just wanted to make sure because i never seen a part like that before.
Well its not rubber its metal just found out. But ahhhh not gonna worry about it now. Was not sure what it was.
Oh and again Winston thank you for the message you sent me on locking the two piece axle. Should make that into a write up, Easier than a posi lock system.
I have done all kinds of work under the front of my XJ and stripped 2 others for parts and do not recall any thing made of rubber that size other than the motor mount. It could very well be something that a previous owner dropped in there and it has just been joy riding for a few years.

Doing this mod makes The function of a two piece axle as a one piece and is no different from the later models with the one piece axle.
So there are no negatives with this jus not having to worry about the damn vaccum lines busting.
No problem theseres a write up here too let me find it.

From what I have read, yeah. I have had no problems so far. If you think it would be a problem you could take the vacuum part out and stack some washers on the shaft behind the fork.

I think its more work than its worth, and not necessary.
