Yeah, Auburn's ECTED line of lockers function as limited slips when they're not fully locked. I read some interesting reviews, most of them complaining about them. Interesting principle, but you'd be better off getting a selectable or even a lunchbox. I cant even tell my lockrites are there on the road except for the ratcheting.

 

So I have a question about my buddy's 91 XJ with an ax-15. The clutch on it is like a brick wall, let it out super slow and it still pounces forward. Also, when you depress the clutch it kinda slams out of gear and the engine RPMs come up a bit for a few seconds. Any leads on what I should be looking into to make it drive like a normal vehicle?

 

I need to replace the evap purge solenoid assembly, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what part that is anyone have a link or p/n? 99 xj 4.0

 

I think you'd be asking for it if you came into a shop and said that. What work needs to be done? See if there are any jeepers in your area that will lend a hand.

 

I got some parts coming in the mail but after the end of this week, I'm gone 3.5 weeks out of every month. Gotta do the oil filter adapter rings, again, after visit to the last shop and still got an oil pan leak. I'm going to be away from the XJ 300+ days out the year. Just looking for an honest shop which seems to be polar opposites.

 

If i do the ZJ tie rod swap will I need to get an alignment?

 

Technically, yes. You can get "damn close" in your driveway with a decent measuring method. Depending how much money you've spent on tires you may want a professional with a rack to do it.

 

I got real close with mine, but instead of marking the tires I did it off of the brake rotors. When I had my alignment they said I was almost perfect .

 

ty bro

 

Lol, i used a come along and pinned my tires in place when i did mines and just dropped the zj one in. Did a quick measurement afterwards and it lined up nicely.

 

Sounds good if your alignment was decent to begin with!

 

:-P

It was ;-). I had it done when i lifted using a good eye and computer system at dealership. Crazy how they catch every lil movement those machines

 

Are the leaf spring bolts (front hanger, shackle at leaf, and shackle at box) all the same size?

 

Googled and found my answer.

They are all the same size. LCA bolts (axle side and body side) are also the same. 10mm shorter but still fine to use.

 

Yes, M14x2.0 120mm for all the rear. The original bolt heads and nuts are flanged, but you can use hardened washers, either M14 ISO class 12.9 or a nice fitting SAE Grade 8 3/8".

Whether you can use the same bolts up front depends on how the thread is cut. The M14 bolts I bought had a giant shoulder and when installed for the LCAs the nut ran out of threads. I stacked washers in a pinch but this is NOT a good idea! Even hardened washers can become flattened over time.
