Yeah, its been there for about 4 or 5 years? I suspect the weld nut is broken loose as I can move the broken bolt pretty easily. Hopefully I can just whack it out of the way and drill the hole....

So, I brought it in for alignment today after changing the front differential and the rack and pinion. The dealership said they were having difficulty getting it aligned right then discovered the rear subframe bolt on the drivers side had been sheered off a long time ago. I suspected it was in...

Thanks for the info. I have a feeling this was part of my problem.

I have the same problem, but now 3 of them are rusted and snapped off! Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help appreciated :) Thanks!

I may be a bit confused here. I am not sure the front pinion bearing is gone. There is more than one bearing in there from the yolk to the pinion right? Could it be the first one, on the yolk, that is bad? Is it pressed on?

Yes, after doing some research it looks like it will be much easier to just replace the entire carrier. I have a new rack n' pinion that needs to go in as well. Might as well knock them both out at the same time. Cheers,

My front pinion bearing is shot. Way much play in it. Read up it looks like this is a pretty complicated job to get the bearing off and a new one on. Would it be worth it to just get a new front dana axle? about $300 on ebay. Also. the cross member that holds up the mount under the transfer...

Yeah, it only happens after sitting when it's hot. I came across this TSB, sounds exactly like what is going on but my ****** isn't the right year. ? http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f212/tsb-21-016-05-delayed-engagement-after-extended-off-period-27663/ Is there any way to test if it is the...

I've had a lot of luck on this forum over the last few years getting stuff figured out with my Jeep. Have another issue I cant seem to figure out. My 45RFE is slow to engage when it is hot. But it is not just when it is hot. It is only after it is hot and has sat for about 15 minutes. No...

A common thing that can also cause this is gunk built up in the throttle body. It is easy to take apart and clean. If the fuel filter has never been changed, I would knock that out as well. Cheap at Autozone.

The 1/1 sensor sensor is the drivers side before the cat. 1/1, 1/2 drivers side. 2/1 2/2 passengers side.

That was just one salvage yard of thousands in the country. You probably have some close by where you live. Grab a phone book or do a google search for "salvage yard" or "wrecking yard" with the local town you are in, in the search. Should turn up something. I know for a fact that western has at...

Sounds like you go to some up-tight salvage yards. A lot of salvage yards operate on ebay and offer money back guarantees. Check sell numbers and feedback number. I have gotten parts that way. I mostly use a salvage yard up here near Salt Lake City, and they give a 30 day guarantee on all parts...

Call around to some salvage yards, see if you can find them. If so, they should pull them out for you and all you have to do is pick em up. Drop them off with your mechanic and he can install them. ;) I go to salvage yards all the time. Got my transmission, transfer case, fuel pump, and other...
