No left or right. Both are designed for right hand driving and not blinding oncoming traffic.

What size are the sway bar bushings on a 2000 Cherokee sport? I have the upcountry suspension package if that makes a difference.

also, forgot about the centering ball thing. Going to rebuild the zj shaft I have in the rear, looks like it could use it. I guess might as well do the front too.

3.55:1 gears are stock behind the 4.0L with automatic transmission.

Tell us about your Jeep a bit instead of posting seven thousand one-line questions about random parts. Why do you want an AX-15? Do you have a BA10/5?
Ha-ha yea I was kindof spamming those out I guess okay I have an 88 cherokee laredo with renix 4.0l
And ba10 5speed manual
I'm wanting to get rid of my BA-10 and D35 and someone recommend the Chrysler 8.25 rear diff and I've heard alot of good things about the AX-15 manual transmission so my questions are what do I find those in as well as how too identify them. and also what transfer case should I obtain as well as what things I should know about bolting those items onto my jeep as well as what gear ratio I should obtain (planning on putting 32" good year wrangler duratrec's on it) and what I should know about doing a lift kit I would like to do a 3.5" Rubicon express lift kit

My fuel pump is good, relay is good, fuse is good. Fuel pump will not turn on with ignition on. Is there a ground point I can check.? I have no other ideas. Thanks

You want to never buy another socket or ratchet go snap on if you don't care harbor freight makes good enough tools and they are hella cheap and lifetime warranty
But snap on is the best way to go in my opinion
Not for air tools tho they are excellent air tools but way way overpriced I use IR air tools from mat co and Cornwell

It varies a lot. You have to go and measure your sway bar, unfortunately.

Use an open end metric wrench to measure it.

Not nearly as often especially impacting sockets I've never even heard of one braking tho I did brake a 3/8 drive ratchet once it's a little shortty one like 4 inches long and a wrench 13mm wrench once with a hammer but compared to every other company whose sockets eventually Waller out I've seen snap on sockets and wrenches that are 20 or 30 years old still fit perfectly
Like I said I prefer snap on and recommend there hand tools highly but I know guys who only use Mac and are just as serious about there quality and even craftsman guys who swear they are the best quality in my experience snap on makes the absolute best hand tools

Snap On and Mac are definitely higher quality than Craftsman, HF, etc. For example, their ratchets have more teeth, which means they work in tighter areas.

But the tools still break, and they aren't nearly as easy to get replaced as Craftsman. That's where I stand on the issue. I buy Snap On at garage sales. I go to Sears if I'm paying full price.
