Possible that it could be different since you're Renix? I'm gonna look more into it today depending on the weather...

XJ Ask the Question Thread-4ywbwc8.jpg

looks like it does only have one prong. Dunno why I thought it had two. Best picture I have right this moment. If you need a better one let me know. I already checked the plug and it fits.

And it's part number TS6685.. which does show up in some google results, but for Grand Cherokees. If the guy gave me the GC sensor after I clarified that it was just a Cherokee twice then I'm gonna be a bit miffed.

So I'm not a complete newbie, but I don't want to dig through the full manual on PDF and get questionable answers. I wanted to see if anyone here has something like a diagram for the many and ridiculous vacuum lines in the Renix Cherokees. There's a bunch at the firewall on the passenger side with weird connectors that seem like one way valves or filters of some kind. They're super brittle and some are related to my 4x4, because I've broken a number of them and I forgot which one I broke most recently but there are probably some semi important functions related to the others.

That is the sensor for the tstat housing. The rear sensor on the head, for a gauge, is skinny. About the size of your pinkie finger.

If your track bar is loose, can you just replace the bushings on both ends, instead of getting a whole new bar? I assume most times the metal bar is just fine, and the bushing is the issue.

Are the ones with the 2 bushings for the pointy side with the crown nut?

Not with a stock track bar. The vehicle-side is a TRE type of end that's cast into the whole thing.

There are aftermarket replacements that undo this and accept a standard TRE, though. Can't remember the brand...

Not sure what you mean exactly by "two bushings". Example product?

No. just no. The tre end is not replaceable if its a non adjustable.

I've got a. 92 xj that has a 6.5 lift 33 tires and 1.5 inch pucks in front to level. Since I put the pucks in the steering falls side to side and will not go straight. To the point of being unsafe. Any ideas???

Have you ever adjusted the steering wheel. Adjustable tracbar, longer CAs

I have changed the ball joints and garage aligned it. I was wondering how to adjust the play in the steering wheel or tell if the box is going out. I am new to this.

No way to adjust out "play" in the steering box, it's probably trashed.
