    Leak springs and shackle bushing question

    I'm still trying to find out what springs I have. Everything at one point was painted over, even the shocks so haven't been able to see any clear markings. There is some paint coming off on one shock that shows white and red underneath. I'll prob try and strip the paint if needed. As far as...

    Leak springs and shackle bushing question

    Really been appreciating the help from this forum. On to my next post. I recently took both of my track bars out. My wife and I have been very impressed with the ride quality since, but this introduced new noises since the suspension is now free. When turning at low speeds left or right...

    Rear pinion angle, CV drive shaft length questions

    I know some of these questions have been asked in other threads and other forums. I wanted to bring up my specific vehicle situation and see what the forum pros think. I'll do my best to not be too scatterbrained. Shortly after I purchased my 95 YJ, manual, 4.0L, enough started going wrong...

    Can the cable holding the parking brake lever up get loose this quickly?

    First post here but have used the forum for alot of advice. I serviced the rear brakes s on my YJ for the first time. I bought the full kit for changing out all the springs and even new cylinders. Been driving it around for 1k miles since. The parking brake was starting to be so loose that it...
