Did you buy that code reader recently? (like, within a return period lol) I have the AL439 which supports freeze-frame data as well as live graphing of stuff, VERY useful in your situation.

this link will bring you to the track bar that fits your rig. in the picture it has a bushing and TRE so i believe its good to go: http://www.quadratec.com/products/918205_03.htm #918205.03

curious about a couple things, though. what whole set do you refer to and can you clarify what you mean by "the rear spring one".
Quadratec sell's "Super Kits" for 84-01 Cherokee's 76046.80X Page 50 of there Essentials catalog, includes rear spring eyelet bushings

http://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/s...category=23297 is the front suspension control arms, to get you started.

Bushings are sold each, or in packs of two



Upper control arms: 4x the same bushing (most sold in pairs)
Lower control arms: 4x the same bushing (most sold in pairs) (easier to replace entire control arms, though)
Sway bar: 2x bushings bar-to-frame (most are sold in a kit of two though), 1x end link bushing kit (eg. Mevotech MK3150)
Trackbar: Axle end is one bushing, frame end is non-serviceable.
Steering: Recommend upgrading to V8 ZJ tie rod - 1x XJ drag link, 1x V8 ZJ tie rod, 2x TREs, 2x TRE adjusting sleeves

Doing a full front-end service is laudable though the control arm bushings are a colossal pain in the ***. Might want to verify where the noise is from first.
Well when I bought this thing it had a very bad oil leak, {mostly blow-bye} Since I gave it a heart transplant, all the oil dried up and washed away, that left dried, distorted bushing, if you know what I mean.
My mistake, track bar was replaced by PO. It has the solid one in it. Rock Auto "Rocks". Do a lot with them.

I'm going to be doing my first coolant flush soon, and I have a question about it. When I'm refilling the system with antifreeze should I add a higher ratio of antifreeze to compensate for the water in the block that doesn't get drained out, or do most people just ignore it? I know there's a block drain but I don't really want to mess with it seeing as a lot of other people don't.

Is that too hot? Would the 180 thermostat ease my mind?

Can't access it. If your running hot a lower temp thermostat won't help.

Yes, that's too hot. It should sit at 210. As posted, a lower t-stat will not help. An infra-red temp gun is helpful for troubleshooting and confirming the gauges accuracy.
