What I mean to say is, I'm asking about normal road speeds, so 65mph maximum. As opposed to 70 - 80 MPH highway speeds.

I wouldn't mess with less than 25 if you want to do 65 MPH.

What is the point of this endeavour exactly? Figuring out how much you can air down and then drive home without reinflating?

Also dont forget about how you're going to wear your tires down driving like that.

Yep. Also trying to figure out what the lowest PSI I can drive daily, for the purpose of being able to check out random trails without making a big endeavor of it. I'm stuck with a 2WD XJ until I can convert to 4x4 (probably this Winter) so tire pressure is critical to my capability.

Was it an alignment printout that says the thrust is out, or your tape measure?
Yes I had my first 4 wheel alignment after the lift. It is at -.91 degrees. It pulls slightly while driving, more when accelerating. It was in spec before the lift. Sorry for the late reply, thank you in advance for any help.

Default Will speedometer from 1999 Grand Cherokee work in a 1993 Cherokee?

Have a 1993 Cherokee that speedo quit working. Replaced the speed sensor, not the problem. Head has to be bad. Have a '99 Grand Cherokee that I can take the unit out of, but I need to know if they are comparable or is it apples to oranges?

Thanks, WMac

Get an inflator already
Amazon.com: Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow High-Volume 12-Volt Air Compressor: Automotive Amazon.com: Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow High-Volume 12-Volt Air Compressor: Automotive
Will make a super quick job of airing up on stock tires. You don't want to be running around low pressure all the time. It's not worth the fuel or tire wear.

<<<@!2!@>>>

Sorry I'm not familiar with what commonly breaks on a '93's speedo system but I can tell you that a WJ's setup is extremely different.

Does the odometer still work?

Vibes go away when I take front ds out.

Anyways, is the yoke supposed to have this type of movement or play? I just don't want to end up spending other money trying to fix this problem when it could be something simple like a new yoke. Here's a video.

Anybody? Guessing this is normal but just wanna double check.

There's no in and out movement so I'm guessing the bearings are good

What has me perplexed is that when the left side sticks, and ONLY when the left side sticks, the truck pulls hard right when I brake.

I already bought new rotors, calipers, pads, and lines to put up front, but I'm wondering if this is two issues or if, more likely, there's a connection that I'm not seeing.
Awhile back, my 98 cherokee would pull hard to the right when braking. Found out that the left rear brake line was plugged with rust. Since no braking was happening on the left, it pulled hard to the right. Dunno if that helps, just thought I'd throw it out there.
