Any of the crew here running an IRO HD tie rod? I have my money in hand ready to throw it at my computer screen. I just can't figure out if it comes powder coated or not. The description mentions having wrench flats so you don't scratch the powder coating. However, it doesn't definitively state that it comes powder coated.
Was hoping to place an order tonight after dinner. If I don't get an answer from here, I'll just call in the morning and ask.

No, I don't lick fish.
Use a plumb Bob or make a couple out of some string and a big nut or something of the like. Hang it from the fender and see where it touches on the tire, then use a ratchet strap attached from the driver's side of the frame and attach it to the passenger side of the axle.. Or sometimes you can just bump the buddy into place.

Fpr part number
I had that fuel pressure problem, and learned here that it was probably a bad fuel pressure regular (check valve). Another poster here with a 96 offered a link to the one he bought, which amazons fitment tool swears is for my model. Put it in, no improvement. I’ve tried a variety of solutions, finally it occurred to me to write the seller on amazon and ask if the one he sells is for the fuel rail or the tank (some 96s have one, Some the other). lo and behold, he says it’s for the rail, and mine is in the tank, so I installed the wrong part. Now I’m calling official mopar parts people all over, and giving them my VIN, and they all say the only FPR they show for my VIN is the one on the rail. Anybody know the right part number for the IN TANK fpr for a 96 xj?

Unless something has changed recently all fuel pump components for a '96 are in one unit. They can be gotten cheaper. Just happen to have this site saved in case.

I have the "air only blowing from defrost" problem. Read old threads to find the vacuum leak. Have a rotten line running from firewall to the canister in the bumper. My question is, where the vacuum line goes into the firewall, how do I get it out? I pulled on it and it comes out about 1.5-2 inches but then feels stuck. Should I just cut it off and leave a few inches in the firewall? Is the line I'm pulling on attached to something on the other side of the firewall?

When i retorqued the bearing caps after doing my rms i noticed that a slight tick/knock that i had is now gone. Am i crazy or is it somehow related?

Ockham's Razor would suggest it is related.

Help with another thread.
I know this thread gets a lot of views. Can someone help with a suspension issue on another thread I have?
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/help-front-suspension-239236/
i'm getting a popping/grinding noise while turning right and also while coming to a stop at low speeds.
i had the noise, replaced parts, and now still have it. Looking for more insight.
List of parts replaced
upper and lower ball joints
axle u-joints
whel bearings
drag link
TRE's
and steering stabilizer.
I also removed my front sway bar for the time being while I wait for my new end links to arrive.
96xj 150k 2" lift.

Hey. Does anyone have the reference chart for comparing caster at the spring plate to actual caster? The page I had saved no longer works and I cant seem to find it again.

i can only get it to replicate the popping while it is in motion. I tried turning it back and forth while I'm in one spot and it doesn't make a noise. Someone mentioned the shock bushings. I didn't think to check those but I will.
