I'm going to say the plugs have around 7,000 on them. They are Accel 736. I'll probably just get new plugs again and go with Champion Copper

NGK in all of them. They were making copper plugs before Champion could spell the word.

If you have an advanced auto parts near you they should carry them. It's where I got mine.

I'm in the process of taking the ABS out of my Jeep and needing to know if all I need is a brake booster to make it work. ABS never worked in my Jeep so I'm taking it out. Its a 1990

90? Should be a Bendix system. You'll need a booster and a master cylinder and I think the proportioning valve. Also the windshield washer tank might need moved. It did on my 91.

Cool thanks for the help trying to get the thing back on the road before winter. Does better than my Dodge ram because of the 242 transfer case.

Too late already got the Champion Coppers put in. I'm beginning to think its the motor mounts because it shakes more on the driver side than passenger side.

That's cool. Poke your noggin under the engine and have a gander at the mounts. Do them BOTH if you're gonna do them. Esy job.

Is there a way to adjust the steering box on a 97 xj sport?
