You're right to avoid Airtex. Can't go wrong with Mopar, and I think I've heard Precision is alright. Definitely wait for a second opinion, though

Bosch, NAPA premium, Mopar are what I'd trust.

There's a little dimple there where it should be. If I look on the female side of the connector for pin 10, there is no metal slot for a pin to slide into ethier. Does this mean I can't do high idle? What does this mean?
anybody?

I can't think what else would cause me to have unequal length control arms to get a correct castor reading. The jeep is super straight and has never been in a wreck.

It started pulling after I got new tires and upper control arms. Both were installed at the same time.

Just spitballing here, but is it possible that one UCA might have been preloaded and the other was torqued with weight on it? Just trying to think outside the box

Everything I see says it's Pin 10 on a '93. Either a purple or gray wire, depending on year. Are you sure you're looking at the right connector?

I could use some info on international spec XJs. An Isreali man bought a set from me and a month later bought another set for the pre 97 models. He sent me the photo below.

Can anyone confirm whether all international XJs have this setup and if so, for what years?



Front rear to front, 1997 Isreali XJ. The rear overhead light is from the US Spec 84-96 series while the front Overhead Console is from the US Spec 97+

I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't know. Thank you for sharing, though. I find it very interesting
