My front ZJ springs are starting to settle compared to my S10 bastard pack. Is this too much of a slant to Change steering castor angles?

 

thanks!

 

Best way to tell is by measuring. Get yourself a protractor and a ruler and check the angle of the driveway to the inner C. You don't want them at less than a 90* angle - in other words, the "top" of the knuckle needs to be pointing towards the back of the Jeep.

 

thanks, I'll do this tomorrow.

 

Stock is 5deg IIRC.

 

Someone in a thread mentioned wanting to buy a decent Jeep. He's from NY but I can't remember the thread. Anyone seen this post? He mentioned it in passing so I don't think it was a specific WTB post

 

Other way around lol - top of knuckle needs to point forwards. Pinion gear pointing up

 

Has anyone cut the body to get to the fuel pump on a xj?

 

Yep:

 

Now that is the PROPER Way to do that.. clean.. square.. neat... gasket.. I give a 99 out of 100 for doing the job Right.. lol

Glad my old XJ comes out the front.. takes 5 min to change..

 

Jealous of the old xj's pump placement. Need to change mine but am not looking forward to removing tow, guard, tank and then pump. Contemplating CCKen's way

 

CCKen is one of like 3 people on any of the forums whose advice I would follow without question under any circumstances. So if he did that, it's the right way lol.

 

what makes it the "RIGHT WAY" is he made it so it could be sealed up.. now obviously if you got a rusty jeep... sealing it was useless... but no harm if you do it right.. and if you keep the old pump for emergency spare in plastic bag with extra other emergency parts.. you can fix on the trail to make it home with very little ease..

 

yes to pinion no to knuckle!
