You mean, like this??

Yes.

And when installing that dizzy, be sure you use a gasket and that it seats down fully. I've had to grind the tang off a skosh on a few of them.

Hey guys, first off, thanks for all the great info and help given here. Now, I have a 94 country, I soon will need to replace my A/C compressor...holy expense...should I switch the system to the 134a or just replace with OE? Also, on same note, I have noticed the fan blower making a "singing"/"screaming" noise. Could this be connected to compressor going bad or blower motor itself? Thank you for your assistance

Hey guys. Need a little help. I have to replace the axel shaft u joints this weekend. I've never done anything like this before so I'd should be an adventure. I've done some research here and there. Watched a couple you tube videos and it looks pretty staight forward. I'm going to buy a ball joint tool to help me along. I have a 13 mm 12 point socket to get the bearing off. What I need to know is what size is the axel nut and is there any tips that will help make this as painless as possible. 99 sport w/ 4.5 zone lift. Every thing else is stock. Thanks

Think I need to replace UCA bushings in/on axle. I know this kit http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2936&ppt=C0106
says front and rear, but have RC arms. Will the kit do both sides of axle? In other words, is front and rear bushing the same size?

Also will the axel shafts slide out once it's apart or do i need to pull the diff cover and remove any clips in order to get the shaft out?

axle should slide out with little effort.

Thanks for your help.

Yup. passenger side will be pretty heavy, its alot longer of a shaft. Knock the clips out, bang the caps out, put the new one in. I did it, and its not that bad just greasy. Use this as a good time to try to wipe out your axle tubes best you can.

Front and rear bushings are the same size, same withe the upper arms. Just be careful you don't squash the arm itself when you beat the old bushings out. If you have trouble getting the upper arms back in, jack up the axle so all the vehicle weight is on it, that should swing it far enough forward to get the bolts back in, that's what I had to do on mine.

OK, hold on a sec.... use a gasket? Where? Does it take a gasket between the distributor base and the block where it's held down?

I've never seen a gasket there.

You may want to expand a bit on that "tang off a skosh" thingy too. Ya lost me with that one.
