If I wasn't in typing class because of Cindy, I might have "thunk it" sooner!

Well done soybean! Cruiser "knows things" about your jeep, if you haven't, you might click on my signature.

Yeah, in Post 25 soybean said the hose was fine. When you get back from the store it's FUBAR. What's up with that? LOL.

Must be. Went from "fine" to "I'll go check that now" in 5 minutes.

I think it's funny and point well taken. I need to not be on so many forums. This one for me is a keeper.

I've seen (and learned loads from), posts from guys that actually didn't seem to read the thread! I think from the point of view of the poster, quality matters more than quantity. But from the point of view of someone supper knowledgeable as yourself, time spent one place, is time taken from somewhere else! A fine line. I confess, 1/2 the reason I'm here is to improve my typing and "related" skills, so yacking and going on about details doesn't really bother me. i hop yall ar ok wth that....oh sarry...m om my phone ans maymee dort of stonedr uh....can u make it go? uh..< I meant UH?


Soybean! No reflection on you whatsoever!! (I'm just yacking with a cranky old man)

4;33 funny! Best of luck. Hit all the "zirks" you can find; (below). Top off the diff's, Or pull the covers and change it, make sure the transfer case has tranny fluid to the top plug...then there is....

  • Track bar/panhard rod. 1 nipple at chassis end
    * Track rod ends. 1 at each end of axle and 1 at the steering box drop arm. Possibly 1 at the mid-joint of the drag link but I think this one is usualy not greasable? so 3, maybe 4 on the steering linkage.
    * Steering swivel ball joints. The top ball joint is greasable and this is easier to get to if you take the wheels off but not essential. The bottom ball joint isn't usually greasable but I think some specialist aftermarket ones might be.
    *Front axle driveshafts have a UJ at each axle end. These are often not greasable but they can be and the grease fitting may be the usual nipple between 2 of the bearing caps(although there is no room to get a conventional grease gun in to it) or a flush fitting on the end of 1 of the bearing caps.
    *Front propshaft has a greasable sliding joint and 3 UJ's which probably won't be greasable if they are original. The UJ nearest the gearbox could be greasable by the bearing end cap as there is no space to get to an inner grease nipple.
    * Rear propshaft has 2 UJ's which again probably aren't greasable but worth checking. The sliding joint of the rear propshaft has to be dismantled to grease it but it is advisable to do it every few years, undo the uj straps at the rear axle(4x 8mm headed bolts) and remove the prop to grease the splines.
