I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee and I've owned it for about 6 months. A couple months ago I noticed that occasionally when I would back up to the right, I could hear and feel a pop in the front end. Its only gotten worse and more often then not it pops. It has also started popping while going forward and turning to the right. I took it into my mechanic and they replaced a loose tie rod end and tracking bar. It's been a week and it seems like its gotten worse. What could be going wrong?

Hello, I'm brand new to Jeep and to this forum. I just purchased a '95 xj with 192K miles on it and have been repairing the minor issues with it.
In an attempt to replace the climate control bulbs, I have only found one bulb (top right side) but the manual indicates that there are two. Can someone please assist me in locating the second bulb? Thanks.

Ok so today I was driving my jeep and out of nowhere the battery gauge spiked to 19, I pulled over shut it off and all the gauges stayed where they were, when I turned it back to run they all jumped back down and the battery gauge read normal again, so I started it back up and everything was fine so I continued on to my destination. The jeep sat for a good 20-30 minutes and I headed home and it happened again so I took it to auto zone and they told me I had a bad battery and said the alternator might be over compensating for the bad battery, so my question is, is it most likely the battery or could it be the alternator/voltage regulator. I don't want to drop $100 on a battery if its not the issue, but I have noticed she has taken longer than usual to start... So what do you all think?
