MancheKid86 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 installed my ax-15, i have 2 x-members that are stock and they don't entirely line up, I'm using the back mounts for the x-member, the furthest back line up, the front holes on x-member do not, they are 1" to far forward, has any one had this problem?? if so, what x-member do i need to fix this?

Blue88Comanche Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 this may sound a little stupid but, is the rubber mount on the correct way? I also noticed the rubber part can be put on backwards (rotated 180 degrees) and move the x-member by about an inch left to right. there are 2 sets of mounting holes for x-members. My BA-10 used one set, and the AX-15 used the other. is the crossmember backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 no sir, i had to grind the stock bolts off the cherokee's extra cross brace just to take it off x-member is almost identical to the one i took off the tranny on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Neither of those pictures can reveal if it's an AX-15 crossmember, but from how the mount looks in the second picture, I am betting it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Did the XJ have an AX-15? need to see the other side of the crossmember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yes, the way you can ID the diff between the AX-15 and AW4 (which I think you have) crossmembers is the center section. Looking at it from the top, the AX-15 dips down about 3/4" while the AW4 has no dip; it's straight across. Also the right side indent for the exhaust pipe is formed differently. I've just been through all of this trying to drop the tranny w. an AX-15 member, but it caused my exhaust pipe to rub due to the headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yes it has the 5/8 dip, Found out my problem, lpaint + dirt and rust covered the other mounting holes, Got it mounted, and went snaaap, all the threads toast, Just got back with my helicoil kit :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
