  1. I had attempted the zj swap on my non c clip 35 before and ran in to play in the axle shafts. Where does this part sit on the shaft? I’m hoping I don’t have to pull bearings off again
  2. You guys are the best, thanks for the quick response! I don't know if this option came on all comanches but i have the load sensing valve that sits on the underside of the bed. When I pulled off my sway bar I disconected the arm so that I wouldn't cut power to the rear brakes when I nose dive. Am I best off removing that and replacing with the zj prop valve and throwing in a 97-01 xj brake booster?
  3. I tried to do this swap on my non c clip and even after drilling out backing plates ended up with about a quarter inch of play in each shaft. I'm assuming this is due to difference in backing plate and the flange that holds the shafts in place is clamping onto the backing plate before it can put tension on the bearings. Any suggestions on how to make it work or am I better off doing an axle swap?
  4. Ironrock sells an adapter for Peugeots. https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/peugeot-transmission-adapter.html
  5. Okay I’ll take a look at the steering box and then maybe take it to someone and see if it’s the track bar. I have like 90+ degrees of play and it’s making it really difficult to drive. Thanks for the pointers
  6. I’m having this issue now with my 89. I backed out of a tight spot and had the wheel cranked all the way. Then heard a loud explosion. The best way I could describe the noise was like my tire popped all of the sudden. I got out and did a check under and around the truck and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I later found the plastic liner in the passenger side front wheel was hanging loose and cracked. I was hoping it was just that but I’m starting to notice a lot of play in the steering since it happened and I’m now thinking they’re likely related. Anyone know if there’s anything in the steering system that could’ve just exploded like that? I thought maybe the hydro assist exploded from pressure since I was cranked all the way. Maybe there’s been an underlying issue causing steering play and the hydro assist was keeping everything a little straighter and more aligned? Any help is appreciated.
