Yea they definitely improve the ride and rear flex if you have a crappy shackle angle

Default Newb needs help!
As i was driving home from work this morning i noticed that my gas pedal was stiffer than normal. When i got home i checked the oil and just did a once over of the engine to see if i could possibly see anything out of place or wrong with it. Everything checked out fine, but i had to go in to town to meet up with a friend for lunch and its still doing it...once again i checked the oil etc and everything was fine. Normally she has alot of pep to her and the gas pedal is not to loose but not too stiff either, at this point im stumped!

P.S. im not that mechanically inclined

Yup. That's the throttle cable.

You're missing a cable. Or is the Jeep manual?

Do you have an automatic or manual transmission?

If it's manual you aren't missing anything.

Go to a bicycle store and get brake cable lube

Remove the cable. Hang the cable by one end and run cable lube through it.

The best thing I've heard to do is get some dry graphite lube, mix some with a little rubbing alcohol, and pour the mixture down the cable sheath from the engine side. The alcohol will evaporate leaving just the graphite on the cable

Or just buy a new cable for 25 bucks.
