Fernando87mj Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Is it bad if the track bar clunks when moved ? I'm having steering shimmy going 35-45 and I'm trying to look for the issue , could it be loose or is it just bad ? https://vimeo.com/151254837 * update got under and tried to tighten everything and everything appears to be on properly , under inspection I also noticed the sway bar bushing is cracked and it appears to be shrunken ?

Fernando87mj Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 It’s been A lot of years since I’ve updated this. I’ve learned and grown a bit since this update. Got done with high school and started my Career as a tech. Found a good woman in the mean time and have learned a lot. Sadly this beauty has gotten neglected but I’m trying my best to get her to the point where she is better than ever. major issues as of now is that pukegoat. I think it’s pretty much toast at this point. It whines like crazy in every gear except 4th. Whine goes away when I press the clutch pedal so I’m thinking maybe a bearing inside the trans. Either way I’m trying to save whatever I can to possibly swap in a ax15. Not looking for a 4x4 swap. I’ll leave that for my 88. Power steering system needs to also be addressed. She’s leaking a good amount. Seems like the pump so pump replacement is in the future. Maybe even a steering box. If so I’ll just upgrade to a zj unit. I have already replaced the lines. Engine mounts are another needed repair. They are pretty much shot at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Recently I have replaced cap and rotor because I never got to it back then. I refreshed the grounds per cruisers tips. I also plan on adding additional grounds per his tips. When I did these things they made a big improvement on my 88. I replaced both battery cables since they were horribly corroded and younger me didn’t know the amount of issues that could cause. i also replaced the battery itself. I replaced the fuel pump and filter. The replacement I had put in there years ago probably went bad from sitting so much. I also did one of the upgrades I had been longing for since I had joined this site. I finally found some turbines for the ol girl. Absolutely love the look. Also need to buy new rubber for it. here’s a picture dump. I totally forgot to take after pics of the pump and filter old battery cables were really bad. new cap and rotor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Also scored big at the jy a few days ago. Can’t wait to swap these parts in. Poor xj was mint but had the 2.8 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando87mj Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Finally got the old vinyl out. floors are extremely solid. Only found two tiny pin holes. Waiting for my chassis saver to get here to coat the floors now. I’m also waiting on my parking brake cable since the old one snapped many years ago. old vinyl flooring pass side was a little scary when lifting the carpet up but not bad at all. Most of it wiped away with brake clean After a few minutes with the wire wheel This was the worst of it Drivers side is super clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Finished prepping the floor and got the first coat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 A few days later and the chassis saver and seam sealer is hard. also replaced the snapped parking brake cable new (to me ) carpet is in.

Fernando87mj Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Got the carpet back in and all the interior back together. Just gotta install those center console brackets. Cleaned up all the interior plastics with some soapy water and a magic eraser. Pics don’t do it justice. It really worked wonders. nice new to me carpet is in. Going to eventually get those seats re done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando87mj Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I was able to get a lot done today thankfully. younger me really put this off for way too long. It’s so nice parking this beauty and not seeing an oil spot under the pump. old pump was leaking pretty dang bad. Still gotta replace the oil soaked lower radiator hose. wire wheeled the pump bracket. new pump all together with new pulley replaced idler pulley while I was at it. Also threw in an engine mount while I was at it. Old mount was really bad. all buttoned together. nice shiny new pump and when everything was said and done I went and gave the old girl a wash. Noticed on the test drive exhaust was rattling pretty bad. Looks like it’s hitting the crossmember. I’m guessing the engine is sitting uneven since it’s got one new mount on one side and a old worn out one on the other side. . I’ll change the other mount when I change the oil since the oil filter has to come out. Pretty happy with everything I did today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 got the passenger side engine mount in , while I was at it I replaced the oil filter adapter o rings . next up is replacing the fluid in the ol ba 10/5 , it’s pretty much done at this point but I want to change the fluid and try to get it to last me a little bit longer the oil filter adapter was actually a regular hex head , I was expecting a torx. old o rings were rock hard. new orings on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Got some fresh rubber on her , I got super lucky yesterday. It was my first time driving her long distance. I had loaded the new tires and planned on installing them at work. The drive there went fantastic but after work I came out and found both front tires had gone flat. Thankfully I had already planned on replacing those tires that same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
