I did my driver and passenger side ball joints, wheel bearings, axle ujoints, and inner seals and now I have horrible death wobble. I'm hoping it's the tires which had an off camber wear pattern and were the reason I did the front end refresh in the first place.

If you're keeping the A/C, where are you moving alternator to?

Jeez I hope so too man, hate chasing down the DW...

Ball joints on mine were far better than expected. Did the hubs, u-joints, pads & rotors. Saving the calipers, my helper was a no show, and the one-bleed isn't fun.

Think I'll send the Moog ball joints back, and save my pennies for those nice lifetime units.

Now THAT'S a cheater pipe!

Ha ha. Some of the caps disintegrated in my hand and most of the needle bearing were dust when I did mine a few weeks ago. Not too difficult but can be tricky little buggers...especially if you leave the hubs attached. Definitely nice to have 2 people if you're leaving the hubs attached.

Default Fitted factory fog lamp wiring harness to 1995 jeep cherokee

I pulled the head lamp wiring harness and fog lamp switch from my wrecked 1989 jeep cherokee. I then fitted it to my 1995 jeep cherokee.

It's not quite plug and play but close. My 1995 wasn't fitted with fog lamps as standard, most of the wiring was fitted, the wiring harness had to be modified a little but now works

Trust me, in the same boat with my build...between OT and family obligations, not much done on my build either for the last few weekends. HOPEFULLY no work this weekend, and then of course, we have the 3-day weekend coming up...I've already told everyone to straight **** off that weekend...not often you get 3 solid days to wrench, and with summer on top of us, I want my wheels back, to go enjoy the good weather!



Looking forward to seeing this drop!
