Got the drop pitman arm on today. Wow! What a difference! Changed ds tre. Cleaned the mud out of the rims. Smooth sailing all the way to 75 ( on the speedometer) handles corners like its on rails.
Got ticked off at my stock jeep and my wife. Low on oil and it's knocking slightly. Looks like the thrust bearing on the crankshaft is toast. The crank pulley is rubbing against the timing cover.
Stocker gets no more new parts and is now parked. $800 in the front end, cured the death wobble, possible rod knock...dammitttttt!!!!
"Oh I thought you checked the oil."
" umm, there's a reason I have rags on the dashboard."

A sad sight for all XJ owners, one faithful Jeep on its way to the scrap yard. Been in the family for 10 years, you will be missed old girl.
