I have 235/75R15s on my little stocker XJ.
I get LCA rub during some right turns at full-lock (on my right LCA of course), but no rub whatsoever when turning left.

Does this mean I need to get my alignment done??

I think it's a T60, but wait for confirmation.

I believe it also needs to made "custom" since its a tight fit. Trying to remember if that's one of those bolts that ppl cut the but an weld it to an open end wrench

I got the engine out so I can use a normal bit... I'll grab a 60, fingers crossed.

First time removing transmission from a 91 cherokee. Everything's disco'd and all bell housing bolts out, and still can't shake it loose. Any ideas?

Been having some surging problems on my 98. At idle it will drop to 500rpms then jump to 1000 then repeat. It doesn't do it all the time only occasionally then when I accelerate sometimes giving it gas it does nothing and I can hear a pop from the exhaust. New plugs, wires cap and rotor are 6k old.

I had the same thing that was caused by a slow O2 sensor that was not bad enough to give an engine fault code. I disconnected it, went for a ride and it worked fine. Of course I got an engine code but it ran smooth.

Easy test. just disconnect the upstream O2 sensor, secure the wires so they don't burn on the exhaust and see. If its not that....??? let us know

My upstream is relatively new but I'll give it a shot. My downstream was ripped a little while ago though too lol

What is the crankshaft rail torque spec? Not the endcaps, the brace/rail over top of the end caps. Need the ft lbs. Thanks

I'm finding 35 ft lbs.... ??

There is a steering stopper bolt on the axle by the steering knuckles closer to the lower ball joint in the front. on both sides. they are adjustable.
