Last owner bent the lowers and where the drivers lower connects to the axle. The tabs on axle are being fabd at local shop and welded.

Replacing the front end. Have done sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, tie rod end and steering stabilizer. Need control arms up front and rear lowers. Fixing her up and loving it.

That's what I thought but a guy at les Schwab mentioned it. I guess I learned something new.

We were talking Tj and XJ differences tho. But I should have known better. Right now just wanting to get my girl on the road then the trail. Tired of waiting to get stuff done.
