a few questions

[mike87mj]

got a few questions, i have a 87 4.0l 2x4 no lift with about 215xxx miles on it

 

first question: ok so I'm moving to sacramento, ca soon and need to know if there are any extra things i need to do to my truck to pass emissions it passed fine out here but i was told ca has some smog regulations or somethin that i would have to put some parts on my truck anybody in ca know about this stuff?

 

second question: when I'm driving and i hit a pothole or even a man hole cover my truck seems to float around side to side i try to hold it steady before i hit the hole but it will still do it. any ideas?iv owned a lifted xj before and have experienced death wobble before and this is definately not it it seems to throwthe truck sideways almost.

 

third question: my brakes work good they stop me at any speed but iv noticed the pedal kicks back at me when stopping no grinding pads are good and i don't feel any sticking either?

At ht every least for CA, youll need to make sure ALL original emissions equipment that was on there from the factory is in place and working properly, that includes the cat conv, the vapor canister and all its hoses, the O2 sensor, EGR valve...etc. You might want to find a phone book for where youre moving to and look up local shops that might specialize in Jeeps and give them a call so they can get you all the right info on what youll need to do.

 

Second.... can you phsically move the vehicle side to side with it sitting parked? If so, lay under it and have someone move it like that for you so you can watch to see where the slop is coming from. Usually side movement involes the track bar, but you should experience DW as well.... who knows, but that would be a good place to start.

 

Third... sounds like warped brake rotors, but you should be able to feel that in the steering wheel too.

 

Good luck!

Mine did that bouncing from side to side, I thought it was kind of cool at first but the wife told me that if I didn't fix it, she wasn't getting in it any more, I did a rough driveway alignment and replaced the shocks and she went away. Now its smooth like a cadillac.
