it looks good i want to do the rusty's xover stering on mine

 

Check this wild **** out

 

Looks real good. I'll be doing that soon (gotta get my tie rod replaced so I can get it aligned before I throw on new rubber)

 

What's the different and how do I do it

 

Tie rods from ZJs with V8 engines are thicker and (I think) solid metal. Ours are a thin piece of tube. It's a bolt-on, though. Just pull a ZJ V8 tie rod (and drag link if you want) from a junkyard, or order a new one from a parts store. Then take yours off and put the new one in its place.

 

Yeah, It weighs twice as much as the stock one. I've been meaning to do it for a while. I need to replace my axle shaft u joints bad, When I reverse, when I hit the brake, I hear loud knocking, like a seizing almost. also, when I begin in drive a little, or when I park and let of the brake. It's between that and the bad bearing on the front output shaft of my tcase. not quite sure yet. I don't think wheel bearing because it's actually fairly quiet. (what XJ is actually quiet??) and It clicks more when 4wd is engaged.

 

It's pretty basic. lol. Don't hit the ball joints out by the thread though, I made that mistake and had to get a dye and all that jazz. Just loosen the castle nut up until there's a small gap, and smack the castle nut.

 

fuzzy absorbers in the cup holders home made CAI and heat shield, PA speaker, accessory box to battery, cubby hole net. And yeah, the stuff in the cupholders is extra fluffy

 

Cool thanks looks like im going to pic-a-part tomorrow

 

I usually *smack* the side of the knuckle that the tie rod end goes thru with a BFH, It *shocks* the tre loose and no chance of damage to the threads.

 

the one i got was super stuck. that's why i had a problem. And my stock tie rod too. I beat the **** out of it to get it out. lol

 

Don't use the zj drag link. The angle of the steering dampner is different and when you install it, it will twist the tie rod and cause some binding at slow speed turning.

 

I read in a few places that the drag links are the same. I don't know first hand.

 

Correct the drag links are the same i have one on my XJ and it doesnt bind or anything as mentioned above
