Stock XJ Cherokee Tech. All XJ Non-modified/stock questions go hereXJ (84-01)
All OEM related XJ specific tech. Examples, no start, general maintenance or anything that's stock.
The fuel pump is less than a year old (Bosch), I hope that's not the cause. I'm going to throw a gauge on when I get a chance. On the way home today the truck threw an O2 sensor code. Over the past month or so I've noticed the jeep either runs mint or feels like it doesn't really want to go to work in the morning. The mood changes between startups. I am hoping that I can replace the faulty sensor and fix that issue, but could the two be related?
Faulty O2 sensors could certainly cause issues. The sin wave that's being fed to the ECU would be all over the place causing large flucuations in fuel/air mix... but it would be more like second to second variance, not day to day.

Maybe I can save someone hours upon hours of research...:-D

Anyone know of a better place to get them?
Here's my list, am I missing anything?
Backing plates(all parking hardware?)
Well by the time I get everything priced out I'll be over $400... No suggestions for Black Magic Brakes!? http://shop.blackmagicbrakes.com/Dan...Conversion.htm
I think I'll get his kit and maybe do it next weekend...
I'll still need a few wheel studs(have some from my old front hubs), axle seals and I think e-brake cables, but I think I'll try to mod the stock ones to work(not like they work now anyways...lol).
I'm having a huge issue finding new fender brackets. I have a 98 cherokee classic and I have looked everywhere! Mine are completely rusted from sitting for years before I found and bought the jeep so replacement is a must. But since I'm having so much trouble finding them I'm starting to wonder if I should just install Bush wackers. Suggestions/thoughts on this??

they only sell the front part of the flare brackets still, the rear part of the front flare brackets has been discontinued.
Does that make a huge difference? Are they an absolute must have for a proper fix?
Not sure exactly which part you're referring to as a bracket on a '98... but the '92 has a brace that goes from the inner fender to the fender skin to keep the skins from "flopping around" AND a backing plate with studs welded to it that sandwhiches the fender flare to the fender skin. You can achieve the same purpose using fender washers and screws.
I believe once the bushwackers are installed, the brace from the inner fender to the skin is deleted as is the backing plates. The bushwackers generally have enough rigidity to hold the fender skin in place.

I'm just talking about the metal bar on the outter side that the fender flare itself snaps to.

Discontinued - try your luck on a partout, or post a wanted ad. Some folks discard them when installing aftermarket flares. I was lucky enough to get a set for all four wheels off of a beaten-but-pristine '97 for my crusty '99
do i need to remove the electric fan in order to access the nut/bolt to adjust my steering box? from under I seem to have enough space to fit a wrench in there but not enough for the allen key. from the top i can't see it.
