I'm been working on my mj slowly but what did i do so far. finished drill mill and retap the C bracket for the the metal wedges and plates. brake upgrade drilled the rod 5/8" for brake switch finish installed.

pics tell everything what I'm doing

i just finish installed booster and m/c no problem. but... I have one issue right now... brake switch. the brake light is stay on while plugged connector on the switch. i drilled 5/8 on rod perfect. no end play, seat perfect and tight. is it might be cause from bolt on switch begin too tight? :dunno:

normal, most ball joint seals tend to be worn out but ball joint it self is fine. Important, try test the end play by wiggle your wheel. Same method with wheel bearing. :smart: just keep mainteance on it(grease it). don't put too much. Overdose greasing attratch dirts more. My opinion. edit: if no end play as abnormal, then your ball joints r O.K.

try pressure tester on coolant system and check the leaking again? maybe leak from heater core? do you see any abnormal smokes come out from exhuast while engine running?

preparing to finish two projects on my jeep this weekend zj booster&M/C and metal wedge for front spring. :wrench: pictures will come up later :cheers:

or ddmtuning.com for cheaper and still great quailty :thumbsup:

3.86 for 87 in buffalo grove, IL

uni-bit sound alot easier for me. thanks for help! :wrench: i can't find 5/8 " with small base around me. i can try next time if uni-bit fail. Edit: got uni bit and hopefully it's work when I try it tomorrow :wrench:

x7 mine cranking for like 3 sec. i checked fuel pressure, its still fine and spark fine. so i agree with you guys. its might be renix thingy :roll: I'm still gotta to get used with it compare with my subaru. started fast

i have a issue with 5/8" drill bit, none of my drills r able to adapt this 5/8" even air power drill at my work won't able adapt it. is there any way to get it fit in adapter?

done remove booster and M/c but pause work on it because need vise grip to hold the rod to able drill it with 5/8" drill bit
