    Are CV shafts supposed to be straight/level at correct ride height?

    You've convinced me to go with better struts, Bilstien, and springs, Ironman. I'll re-use the other parts, unless obvious damage. Thanks for convincing me I need to......spend more?:gr_grin: I already spent a bunch, serpentine belt, front wheel bearings, spark plugs, trans and t-case fluid...

    Are CV shafts supposed to be straight/level at correct ride height?

    Since this is a mostly winter vehicle, and will only see about 5-6k a year, (I drive my 2wd '81 Dodge in the summer) I don't need to spend too much, but I will get better shocks and springs. It will be a summer project and can sit a week or three if needed. Thanks

    Are CV shafts supposed to be straight/level at correct ride height?

    Kind of figured you'd say that. OK, so let's say I go with Bilstien or Ironman struts, and Ironman springs, spacer and a clevis lift, how much of the current parts can I use, or is all that old stuff pretty much shot? They really don't look bad, but how do I know? I don't want it to look...

    Are CV shafts supposed to be straight/level at correct ride height?

    When I was working on my '05, before I jacked it up, I looked at the CV shafts. They have a definite upward slope from transaxle to wheels. If I jack it up about 1.5" - 2" it levels them out nicely. Shouldn't they be level? :shrug: The struts/springs look like they've never been touched, so I...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Changed out the front wheel bearings, not a bad job, except for the moron at DC that decided the bolts that hold the bearing in should be something different than the 12 point bolt that everyone else uses :favorites68: Had to make a trip to the parts store to get the "special" torx socket to...

    I guess they aren't the "normal" #194 push in bulbs then.

    How Often Do You Change Your Spark Plugs?

    I believe I read in the manual around 60k. I just changed them on my "new" '05, and they were really bad, possibly the originals. 114k miles. Went with Champion coppers.

    Overhead Console, Anyone?

    I hope you didn't take that as a shot at you, I meant it as humorous. One of the things I really like about this forum is everyones sense of humor.:ROFLJest: Plus the braintrust!!!

    Are all dash bulbs available that way? I have one out and am thinking to change to blue or red bulbs.

    Overhead Console, Anyone?

    For someone from Lilburn, you ask a lot of questions! :gr_grin: (Saturday Night Live redirect) P.S. I need to know too.

    42RLE - One Tough Transmission

    Remembering that this trans has 173k on it, which is a lot for an un-maintained auto trans, if you pull it you might as well replace/rebuild it. Otherwise you'll be pulling it again. I am ElCheapo, but even I know to do it right the first time, it always costs more not to.

    Which U-Joint should I order?

    By the time you pay shipping from Rock, you'll spend just as much as buying local, will have it now, plus easier return if it's wrong. I have, and plan to again, buy higher dollar items from Rock, (spent about $300 recently) but minor items I get local.

    part# for t-case fill plug?

    Well, the one I stopped at was already closed, about 1PM, and I didn't want to run all over town to any other ones. I had already spent too much time at auto parts stores looking for one, and just wanted to get home and get the fluids changed. Plus I knew I could weld a nut on it and use it...

    part# for t-case fill plug?

    They weren't open on Sunday, plus it's an oddball size, between 1/2" and 3/4", possibly 5/8".
