HELP!...I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport Classic. The drivers door is drooping, I replaced the door check and now onto the hinge pins. Getting them out was easy, followed instructions on jeep forums and purchase a cheap rotary tool, cut in half and pounded out top pin. I purchased parts from Amazon, pins ,bushings and plastic shield. How do I assemble, the bushings won't fit in holes. I thought it made sense to put the bushings on the inside bottom and top holes but the bushings are too large. Can someone help me, I have a hammer in my hand and looking to hit something...lol

I have a 2016 jeep cherokee. Its stock but im wanting to put new wheels and tires on it. Can anyone tell me what tire size i can fit without rubbing on the frame or wheel weels.

If you go back to the main page of the forum, under the Technical Section, you'll see a section for KL Cherokee Tech. Try there.

This area is for the older '84-01 XJ Cherokee, and very few of us know anything helpful about the new ones.

My mistake. Sorry about that

Gotcha... yeah, rebuild can't hurt as long as it's done right.

Have you tried using head to make the metal of the hinge expand and then insert the bushing? I have the earlier style hinges which don't use bushings, so I'm just kinda spitballing here... I don't have such woes.

No worries man, welcome to the forums.

I got this roof rack for my XJ from a junkyard, even though it was incomplete. I thought the chrome look was sweet. It doesnt have one of the track bars, and somehow I can't find a jeep in a junkyard around here that has this chrome rack. I tried searching, but came up with nothing- What trim of Xj was this roof rack from? Maybe the pioneer?

MsMacgyver

Maybe I can just put the pins in and not worry about using the bushings?

Basslicks

I believe Laredo, Briarwood, Limited, Pioneer, and Country... not all of those trim levels come with chrome standard, but some have the "bright appearance package" as an option.

Well, that is an option, but the purpose of the bushings is to be the wear point between the hinge and the pin. As long as you keep the pin greased up, it won't wear quickly, but if you don't, it won't be long and you'll be buying new parts again.

My old hinges didn't have any bushings in them so I decided to just put the new pins in. I replaced the door check and the problem is the same. I have a good inch play in the door up and down. The only thing left is the hinges themselves which is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Anybody have suggestions?

Hey Guys,

I need to replace my rear most rubber exhaust hanger, and I can't find the right one. The ones I keep seeing are like this...



But my rear most exhaust hanger is like the one by the transmission where the post comes off the pipe itself, and then goes into the hanger.

Anyone know where I can find the right one, or have a part number? I've been looking for like 2 hours, and cant find it anywhere.

XJwonders

maybe someone put something else in its place? The picture you provided is what factory used for all years

TFitzPat87

You sure, because to my knowledge all of the exhaust stuff on my xj is original. Here is what mine looks like.

XJwonders

what year is that off? I have never seen that before. Even on older jeeps I come across at the junkyard. Maybe it's discontinued and people have to switch over to the newer style whenever the old ones fail?

TFitzPat87

That's off my 97. It looks like it's been there forever. Guess I'll just get the other one and cut that post off the exhaust pipe.

XJwonders

97? That's really weird. From what I have seen on older jeeps all the way to 2001, they were all the same.
