The Jeep That Is Keeping Me From Working On Jeeps.....

They are the metric equivalent of a 33x12.50 on 17" wheels.

 

With the XJ basic alignment set we were able to continue working on the track bar mount.
There is a ton of stress on the mount, everything was built from 1/4" material.










Almost forgot the steering stabilizer!

 

Swaybar buttoned up.





Steering geometry is much more critical on link suspension.
I understood the assignment.

 

Nice and parallel.. No bump steer for you..

 

or stump beer..

 

This concludes the XJ chapter for the time being.
Carl will be reassembling the interior, running air lines ect..... at his house.
After a final alignment Carl reports that it drives really nice, but needs a new steering box, something that was realized when we were working on the steering.
The alignment shop stretched the front axle forward 1" to help with rubbing on the fenders.
The drag link angle should be darn near perfect once the front springs settle in and all of the weight is back in the rig.

 

My Dad had a 98 XJ, that thing went anywhere!

 

So this is where you been hiding… how’s the new to you CJ6 coming along.
