It's never a bad idea lol but it's a lot of work but it's worth it in the end.

 

is it just the front axle being replaced or the whole package?

 

If I remember correctly, if u have an automatic (aw4) then u would need another aw4 with a transfer case, front driveshaft, front axle, and probably wiring harness for the speed sensor.

2wd and 4wd aw4 are different

 

Do a search for it. You'll need a donor vehicle pretty much because youll need a new rear driveshaft too.

 

I have donors all Over the junk yard. I'm the only cherokee I've seen in parma.

 

so i have a 99 xj classic, got leaf springs off antoher 99 xj classic. torched out old bushing from the 'new' springs. new bushings from o'reilly's (part no. SB372) do not fit in the rear of the springs. the fronts fit like a glove. any ideas to remedy this?

 

simple don't shop o'reillys

 

Front eye is larger than the rear. Sounds like you bought 4x front bushings

 

recommendations as to where to shop?

 

well the bushings are obviously two different sizes. i have one side that fits great and the opposite sides (with bigger holes, whether they be front or rear) are about 1/4" too small.

 

That's not a fair statement.

 

Agreed. Some of my better parts came from them. Much better than AutoZone and Advance. I lament that I dont have one where I live now.

 

Both of these statements are true and best answers

 

alright maybe not the greatest statement but here in Ohio I've never gotten the right part from them I usually settle for autozone. Advance always gives me outrageous prices on crap

 

Oh, great. thanks for all your helps guys.
