Gonna try to explain this as best I can being a new jeep owner. All 4 shocks rattle pretty bad because it seems the rubber grommet the top half is resting on has worn down to the point the top half of the shock wiggles freely when I shake it. The shocks don't seem bad yet so can I just want to replace the rubber piece that's worn. Don't know what it's called or where to find it. Any advice would be great.

Shocks they actually were. Probably nitro? Pretty sure its just the shock tower grommets that dukie listed. They almost look a little big though unless that's how they started and wore down that much. 2000 sport if that means anything to the grommet size on the top half of the shocks. If nobody minds I'll pm them pictures of exactly what I'm talking about on sunday. Thanks again for the help.

2000 XJ no start
okay so i have a 2000 XJ sport and she stalled on me when i was driving and hasn't started back up since.. when i put starting fluid or gas in the Throttle body it will start for a short period of time then die. I can hear the fuel pump kick on every time and the fuel line is brand new. also if i press the pin on the check port on the fuel rail there is no pressure or fuel that will come out unless it was directly put into the TB...
