So when I do this Sye do you have to take the whole transfer case off and this do it or can it stay on

I realize that someone here will simply take the time to post a lmgtfy link rather than give me a straight answer to my question (yes, I am showing my ignorance in parts terminology) but I will try anyways.
I ordered an Energy Suspension Spring Isolator through Amazon and was expecting the item to be more than just a coil spacer. if you look at the image, what is the name of the 2 black parts to the upper left?
What I got in the box was the 4 black pieces shown in the back on the right.
I am trying to replace the rotted bushing at the top of the front coils while getting a small cheap 1 1/2" lift on my front end.

Good to know

Makes it easier but you can probably do it with it on

X2 it doesn't have to come off. Just will be so much easier if it's off.

The isolators are the lil 1/2" pieces that go between the coils and the body. I believe there are certain old muscle cars you ca use to add an inch.

Your best bet may be to get stock isolators and use 1" spacers

Thanks for the reply....so what are the two black pieces on the left side of the picture called? It looks like the springs would sit on top of these???

slow crank, started-up, delay in oil pressure to come up, but it did, after a couple of seconds, all done without a shirt this am, i did however experience some erect nippleage thou, so it's not that bad out!

kinda sketchy huh?

Morning. How's the cold over there?

Looks like spring isolators as well but not sure if for xj. Someone else may fill you in. All i know is the flat round ones plus a coil spacers works

The SYE isn't hard at all as long as you have a good set of lock ring pliers. I didn't even remove my transfer case from the vehicle but I had a lift to do the work. If I was working on the ground then I would remove the transfer case since it will be easier to clean the gasket surfaces. If you remove the transfer case, make sure you have a shorty box end wrench in (14mm or 9/16 I think). If you need to borrow one, I've got it but I don't have the shorty ratcheting one. Also, I remember I had to get creative to get the top nuts off. Not sure why, maybe I didn't drop the transmission low enough but I remember that I had to put the shorty wrench on the bolt and connected 3 feet of wire to it (coat hanger) and used 4 inches of pipe on the other end of the wire to make a "T" handle. Connected the round side of the wrench to the top nuts and pulled from the bottom. I reversed the process to tighten things up after reinstallation.


When you take the case apart, don't drop the magnet and break it like I did. Also, I would recommend to get a new oring for the pick up tube since mine was falling apart and the tube wouldn't stay seated.

S10 alarm is going off and the internal relay is stuck closed. Doors are frozen shut so I can't get to the battery or siren. The best news? I just put a new battery in her. This could go on for a while...DOH!!
