Just drill out the hole with a 5/16th bit and then get 4 bolts with nuts the same size.and some washers.You can fish a nut through the unibody,I tapped the nut to the wrench to hold it in place and then thread the bolt in.Pm me if you need a hand I live in Maryville

Jack it up from the axle on the side that's making noise.With the tire just off the ground stick a pry bar or something under the tire and pry straight up,if the whole wheel moves up and down its a balljoint.There should be no up and down play

Owned my XJ for 1 week today! Running fine and I'm working her hard. I think I got a good deal for a $600 4x4. A little more TLC and she'll be ready to hit some trails.

Check your front wheel bearings. Mine did that I thought it was balljoints. Jack the front tires off the ground, grab your tire and wiggle the tire back and forth. If they move much they're probably bad.

Tried that and they don't budge....:head-drop:

New steering stabilizer
New drag link
New RC 4-6" adj. track bar
New RC 4-6" front & rear shocks
New RC 4-6" quick disconnects
Ball joints on tie rod are still decent

Still have popping/clunking in the passenger side wheel..does it when I put it in gear or change gears....does it when I hit bumps and sometimes when I turn and the violent wobble continues @ 45-50(5)...idk what the hell?!?!

I adjusted my factory control arms forward as far as they would go....only other thing I can think of is my pitman arm is off a ZJ so its a lil longer than stock, which has my drag link at a SLIGHTLY lesser angle than my track bar.........................ANY HELP?!?!?!

Brandon a stock pitman should work fine up to about 6".Double check every bolt on the new stuff and look at all your bushings.I have a stock tie rod with good ends if you need it.If you want to come by sometime we can check it out

Awesome!! You free this Saturday?

Only reason ZJ pitman arm is on there is bc I had to change out my steering box and the temporary junkyard replacement is off a ZJ....
