Standard practice is to rotate the caliper however you need to in order to accomplish three things:
1) Prevent rubbing
2) Prevent pinching of the line
3) Allow as much travel as possible
Usually, this means the line points up, but the caliper is spun once to put an 'S' curve in the soft line

I ended up putting it back together with the hard line pointing down and everything seems to be working fine.

Have you thought about you asking the guy selling or perhaps people who bought and installed them?
Alright so I went trail riding through my friends woods yesterday, lots of hills and ditches to crawl through. After about an hour I noticed the jeep started to go up to 4000-5000 rpms till it would move, so I turned off the jeep thinking the trans had overheated, and it did. I could here a sizzling and boiling sound coming from it. Lol. So I waited till the noses stopped and got out of the trails. By that time it was night so I just parked it and let it cool down. I checked the trans fluid and it looks like coffee creamer and comes almost to the top of the dip stick. Next day, I checked the trans fluid and it's at normal levels but is still creamy colored. Took it around the block and it drives/shifts fine, just as good as before. Not sure if I messed anything up or not, am I find with just a full 8qt fluid change or is my trans soon to be toast?
Do a fluid change and see how it acts.

So I got a 2000 xj. I have had a cracked head for a couple months now. Right between 3 and 4 cylinder like the rest. Well the other day I herd a small ticking noise. Well about three days later that tick turned into a knock. It sounded like it was coming from behind the timing chain cover. So I started there. I'm not seeing a problem now. Another problem is now I got massive amounts of coolant in my oil. Before with the cracked head you could barley tell by looking at the oil. Anyone got any ideas what I broke

Sounds like the crack got worse, and the coolant may have thinned out your oil enough to do bottom end damage

Should have replaced the head when the bottom end was still good. Time for a new one.

Power steering fittings?
Hi All,
I just put a 93 4.0 from a Cherokee into a 74 CJ-5.
Now I need a power steering hose to connect the two.
Does anyone know what fittings are on each end? the 93 power steering pump? and the 74 steering box?
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

Or should I just get all the Moog replacement stuff?

So i posted earlier that my trans fluid looks like chocolate milk and I was gonna do a full 8 quart flush by disconnecting the return line and running new fluid into the system until it's red again. But not I'm wondering if I should just do a drain and fill and then repeat this after every oil change till its red again. I read that doing a complete 8qt fluid change all at once can cause damage because the tranny isn't used to it. What should I do? Thanks

Alright,,will do. I have i have 10 qts of dex/merc that I'll use. Trans still runs and drives great surprisingly. I should probably extend my breather, I think it's what is causing this.
