Is there a 4 wheel parts around you?
The reason I ask is I just made an appointment with them to check out my steering, I've been having all sorts of problems and regular shops just can't figure it out. Wondering if I should still take it to them or jeep
Is yours lifted?

I was too lazy to move the XJ so I could pull the YJ out of the garage to goto work, So I took it and got to enjoy the plush ride and AC. I also discovered that my control arm bushings are shot and I will be replacing them very soon

Default ***please help ac issue***

Anyone with AC knowledge Please help. I have an 01 XJ that I replaced one of the main AC lines on. I did the correct cleaning prior to breaking into the system blah blah blah.. I put it back together, charged it up and it was all good. for 3 weeks blowing Ice cold holding the right Pressures. All of a sudden no cold air. Fan is blowing pressure still good about 40psi. AC compressor is not cycling. Before I go and spend 300$'s on a new compressor is there any quick fixes you guys can collectively think of like a sensor or something. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance. HOO-YAH America!!!!

Did you replace the dryer and oriface tube when you fixed the line? Also when tou charged it did you perform a vacuum on it or just a charge in a can?
