The rebound time on my rear suspension is painfully slow. Sometimes this causes the whole jeep to rock side to side very violently at highway speeds on bumpy roads. Is this my shocks? i am guessing it is. The jeep also sits a little low in the back so that makes me think its the shocks. If so, what are some good OEM shocks that dont break the bank? Thanks!!

I need to replace the axle seals on my Dana 30 front axle. It's from a '97 that I will be installing on my '98. What seals should I buy for them? Are some brands better/more reliable than others or does it not really matter so long as it is the right size?

Can someone measure from the center of the shock mount post, to the center of the tube on a Dana 35 for me?

Alright guys,
I am doing a OM617(5cyl Mercedes Diesel) engine swap on my 97 XJ and the biggest hurdle will be the gauges since all of them except the speedometer work via the PCM. I was going to take my time and trace wires and build a harness that would opperate the OEM gauge cluster 100% but i dont believe i will be able to accomplish that. So i got to searching google for aftermarket gauge setups for an XJ(97-01) and this popped up.
It's for a TJ, but my question is, will it work in the XJ?

I've got 3 sloppy rockers with side to side movement. Anything to be real concerned with? Almost 215k miles on I believe the original engine. '99.

My wiper switch started smoking today. Wipers were on and I was actually fiddling around with the interval wiper switch. It only works on high, I put it on low to see if it would work and it started smoking from around the steering column. Any ideas?

A short. Might need a new multifunction switch. Might have bare wires in the column.
