What is that hose, i accidentally broke it......

 

Vacuum?

 

It's opposite. Think about it...On a narrower wheel the wide tire tread will pull the sidewall bead out against the inside of the rim of the wheel, requiring less air pressure to keep it seated. The issue comes from the opposite condition, where the tire is the same (or narrower) than the wheel. In this case the air pressure does all the work to keep the bead seated.

 

Hmm interesting, thanks

 

you'll need significant machine work to get a 84-97 tranny to work in your 98. Electronically they are completely different, and the 98 transmission has an extra speed sensor. You need to find one from a 98-01 XJ...sorry.

I bought a new ignition switch and while removing the old one a piece of metal fell out. There is a part between the lock cylinder and the ignition switch which has a rod inside a metal part which acually turns the switch and the rod apparently also controls the switch somehow. The piece of metal that fell out is half of the part that actually turns the switch.

Can that part be replaced and how? What is it called to order it?

Also, maybe my old switch is fine. Can I test the switch while it is unscrewed from the column? It may be that the broken part is just failing to turn the switch far enough to engage the starter and maybe the same with a new switch.

Thank you I have a 98 Cherokee 6 cyl.

 

What bumper is this??

This is a friends vehicle i do not have any info on previous maintenance or upkeep. My plan is to start with a good seafoam treatment and new spark plugs. If anyone has any other info or knows more about what each one of these numbers mean please respond here.

Thanks guys!

 

The silver U is to hold the emergency break arm to the break shoe. The wavy washer I think goes between the break arm and the shoe. The blue spring looks like it goes in across the automatic adjuster

 

Custom?

 

Is there a name for these rims? They're 16's on a Liberty. I tried looking it up and didn't find anything.

 

Yea. They call them "wrong offset".
They rub.

 

I was just curious about a name. I wasn't planning on running them. I just saw them today for the first time.

 

Liberty wheels.... Lol

 

That's what i know them by LOL
