Dandxj Posted Thursday at 04:20 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:20 PM 1990 MJ 4.0L aw4 My bench seat is difficult to adjust so I looked underneath and the passenger side spring is missing. It is the large spring on the outside of the rail. The one on the driver's side OK. Does anyone know of a source for the spring or where to get a suitable replacement ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted Friday at 12:35 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:35 AM I'm guess that an auto upholstery shop can get replacements? I've heard of guys getting their benches completely remade, including the springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted Friday at 03:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:08 AM DandXJ, do you mean this spring? If so, you might be able to source one from an XJ. I have several XJ seat bases, I could look at them tomorrow to see if they are the same or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandxj Posted Friday at 03:23 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:23 AM Schardein, Yes that looks like the same spring. It is on the outside on the MJ bench rail frame. I also found out I am missing the rollers inside the rail slide on the passenger side. Not sure how they would fall out. You would have to completely disassemble the rail slide to remove them. I have not had the truck long and I am constantly finding weird things. It would be helpful to know if XJ bucket parts are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted Friday at 03:29 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:29 AM ohhhhh, I thought you were talking about the suspension springs (the squiggly things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second is a regular XJ seat base. I thought I had some MJ seat bases to make a side by side comparison, but I couldn't find them- think I sold them.
