That does it.

I read the reviews, and I'm going with a tailpipe outlet spacer this weekend.

I see the ball joint press tool is good for u-joints. Is there a tool that is used specifically for the tailshaft bushing and seal?

Say whaaaat?!??! Sounds like they'd be found on the shelf next to muffler bearings.

Seal puller, pry bar, screw driver

I've honestly never done the pinion seal specifically, but I've done transaxle seals and axle seals. The Pinion yoke seal doesn't appear to be any different, but I can't say for sure.

I was wondering if someone was going to mention muffler bearings. From what I understand Timken makes one of the best.

Just be sure to get the one that is manifold-back and it will be good.

Quick question with an issue I've had with my Jeep for a while.

On the HVAC control unit (this is my 91 with slide controls), the cold side stops about 1 inch from the left and goes no further. Goes all the way to the hot side with ease. My heater never roasts me out despite properly functioning t stat and clear heater core and bypassed heater control valve. I think my blend door cable might have shifted at the arm under the dash so the heat side is never open all the way. Anyone had this happen before? Can that cable be adjusted? Thanks!

I keep hearing they're the best, but I'm tired of trying to find them. Everywhere I go they tell me they're sold out and on back order.

Anybody here have experience with Relative Bearings?

Anyone know why the interior lights come on when you land hard in a Cherokee?

probably the body flexing enough to shift the doors and release the door jam switch so the interior lights come on
