Do leafs have an advantage over coils? I never knew YJs had leafs on all 4 corners. Then when the TJ came out it has coils on all 4. Then the XJ is a mixture of coils and leafs. Is there a reason?

I'm going to say the XJ has leafs in the back for towing purposes. But I'm not sure

This is a good question. probably for towing and storing purposes. And coils upfront for comfort. Many vans and such over the last few years are solid rears and IFS for handing

What is the easiest way to replace factory front LCA's. I know lots of pb but is there a special technique? Off the ground,on the ground?

I bought a used set of almost brand new factory lca to replace my worn out ones. Every time i hit the brakes i can feel the front axle shift back and forth.

I had a pcm failure code read a few times recently Checked and refreshed every thing. my gauges are all dead. just before as i was driving the jeep took on a mind of its own and floored the throttle of and on by its self all the gauges were jumping around with the check engine light flashing violently then the jeep shut right down. I started in back up drove about twenty feet did the exact same thing. And now it will not start.

The engine will turn over but no start
