All I can say is they are CHINA made I had a feeling they may be but for the price I can replace them twice for the cost of one of the bigger brands which may seriously have china bearings in it also. I just put them in today they look good and are heavy made.

I just sold my 99 XJ at 168,000 and bought a 98 with 100,000 on it and its a mess should have kept my 99 since it was kept up pretty well.

I put a new autozone alt on it lasted about 5 mins and it was done.

Welcome :waving:

My cover was under $20.00 with shipping from ebay just make sure it comes with grommets inserts (if it the 97up) you will need them and the gasket to be from the same year xj and there not cheap but they do work well and can be reused no sealer needed.

Sirsam that would make a nice ring tone for you! :ack:

Got them.

Here ya go and you will be glad you did! http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=906582

Every early 4.0 I had did this even low mile motors I have even bought all new CCV tubes and lines. Nothing ever worked until I bought a newer 4.0 valve cover mines of a 2001 4.0 had to do a little adapting of the breather hoses this stopped 99% of my blowby. Reason is the older 4.0 valve covers have a bad baffle system in them the newer have a full length baffle. There are pics and write ups on here I will see If I still have the book marked.

Sounds great will be giving it a try later this week I hope.

Cool idea have you ever tried it?

Got them at daveysjeeps all 6 used for 15.00 shipped!

Never gave that a thought but will try it the old man has one.

I need 6 good unit bearing factory bolts dealer wants over $8.00 each "OUCH" can anyone help its for my 98XJ I just bought.

As far as bolts I have not got back to this yet so I did not even check the hardware store yet. I called the dealer since I kinda wanted factory bolts there over $8.00 each anyone have some rust free decent shape ones they want to sell?

Maybe whoever bought it snaked it out from under a member who needed and will relist it on ebay again for more money??

Congrats and good luck!

I need 2 decent backing plates for the front rotors on a 97+ XJ mine are gone.

I have bought there rockers have not put them on but they are nice and hope to get it in the body shop in 1-2 weeks with my tax check.

I really like can't wait to see pics I have some tax money also

Has anyone used a slide hammer for unit bearings I got a china one at a yard sale thats never been used I can't wait to try it out.

Sorry misrepresented, standard hardware store non flanged bolt in metric anyone happen to know the size?

Almost $17.00 shipping to Pa. from Ca. Wow that would fit in a small flat rate I bet. And no I am not involved in the bidding good luck rob!

Would like to hear any opinions on brands locals dealers want $135.00 for good USA ones $60.00 for china ones he says no difference he gets them both back at equal rates. I found good brands timkin and national on feebay for around $85.00 each thats the way I am leaning right now.

Axle nut looks good did not get that far yet, anyone know if I can use a standard grade 8 bolt to replace mine?
