You can always start with the u-joints. If you replace them all and your still getting noise or a vibration, you just have to remove the end u-joint to get at the centering ball. I just replaced the u-joints in my front shaft and also replaced the centering ball assembly. They are about $60 online, I bought mine local for $80. They sell a rebuild kit for around $40. More than likely you will need a new dust boot which cost around $8. The factory non-greasable centering ball assembly uses the rubber dust boot. They also sell a greasable centering ball assembly that uses a different seal.
(I havnt snapped any pics of my driveshafts yet, I found out my 3 month old rear ds u-joints are bad so I just picked up new ones to replace them. If I still get that weird noise after the u-joints Il crawl under for pictures.)

 

I have the items in the cart for quadretec since free shipping but debating if I want to spend the extra a money. Want to get it done one time. Ill maybe drop the dS tomorrow and feel it out. Idk, jut looking for the easy answer lol.

I'm probably getting spicer u joint but anyone have experience with other u joint. Duralast, precision, etc. can't find spicer locally.

 

1989 4.0 Renix. Does anyone have a tip on removing the top bolt on the ECU? I just can't see how.
Thanks, Steve

 

Why does my brake and ABS lights both stay on when the key isnt even in? 98 XJ. They arent bright. Really dim. But they are still on and believe it or not my battery is slowly draining becaus of it.

Also, when the Jeep is running the ABS light is on. How do I fix whatever is wrong and get this stupid light off?!

 

Sounds like you have electrical grimlins. I'd suspect the ignition switch.

 

Can you post up a photo of the gremlins?

 

Slim chance since "fuel damper" only yielded 4 results on here and it was in the GC section, but does anybody here know if there is an appreciable difference between with and without? My 1999 FSM says that there's a fuel damper on the 2.5L and none of the 4.0. 2000 FSM says there IS one on the 4.0 fuel rail. I'm assuming mine was simply built with one anyway (built in 1998 though). My new one is bare. I'm not concerned but would it be actually worth it getting one with the fuel damper?

 

 

Thanks. I'd never seen one before.

Ever work on British cars?

 

Unfortunately.

 

You'll appreciate this then:

 

That's not British-specific! It is well known that electronics work on smoke. Once you let it out, they fail to operate properly.

How much bedliner do I need to coat the whole floor? I will be getting a gallon of monstaliner and want to know how much I will have left.

 

I went off roading today and a few times while I was going down a hill or up my check gauges light came on and my oil pressure was at 0. It would usually just go back to normal but still a little low, about 20 psi.

Is this something to worry about or could it have just been the angle mesding with the sensor?

 

How much of an angle? You full on oil?
