Put a pair of Sony 5.25" 4-way speakers in the front today to replace the 9 year old shot ones. You can defiantly feel the bass hit with these guys!

Well depends on how your needle bearings look. They are rebuildable

They actually feel good. I'm removing them so I can wire wheel all the rust and paint.

Your silly. Never remove a part that works well on an xj. She will punish you over and over. Thats why mine is down.

Replace a part, something else brakes. Replace another part, something else brakes.


Example: replaced my calipers. And my ****ing booster blew a seal

I understand the theory. Fortunately this rear axle has never been in my jeep. Those that work as an exception to the rule?
