Binding/wheel hop feels like someone is grabbing the wheel when your turning (generally low speed/tight turn) and pulling the steering wheel back and forth a bit.

I just wanna get rid of lines/canisters. Already have a free spinning pulley, so no OBA option. Just can't find a good write up on how to remove as much as possible.

Need an opinion. I got my trans cooler mounted and lines ran. I've yet to tap into the line. I know which line to tap into. However, I want this to be the least messy and not lose much ATF. What do you think the best way to cut into the line? I was thinking about buying some tin snips.
Edit: I am not tapping into a hard line.

Plumbing:
Trans outlet > Radiator inlet

You should be adding two lines.
But to answer your question directly, they sell rubber hose cutters. I usually just use a serrated knife.

Wanted to put some lights on my XJ and was thinking about picking up 4 6" KC Apollo's and was wondering if $357.97 sounds about right for 4 and a light bar. Two sets of these http://www.quadratec.com/products/97048_3510.htm and this light bar http://www.quadratec.com/products/72112_10X_PG.htm
I had similar issues with my 88 where the control arms looked OK but I changed them anyway as last resort and it solved the problem. I had death wobble at first over 40 mph, then started to happen at 25 mph. Hasn't happened since new control arms were installed. The stock arms were very difficult to remove but replacement arms went in smooth. Hope this helps.

That should be a very solid connection there, and it would click/pop If it were loose. It's usually from a worn out steering box, due to the age of our vehicles.
