Jeep Performance Improvement Ideas
Tom’s Amigo had trouble on our last off-road trip. It would lose front drive occasionally. We eventually diagnosed it as the CV axle pulling out of the hub splines.
Tom picked up a new axle https://amzn.to/2Vk4B2t and this weekend we decided to swap it out. Or maybe just replace the C clip that had come loose allowing the axle to pull out of the hub.
My old Gabrial air shocks were leaking on my 1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ, so I ordered a set of Monroe Max from Amazon. https://amzn.to/2niPoCh
WHe nI started my 1988 Jeep Cherokee after having the engine out, I noticed a few things were not working. My Heater blower, windshield wipers, and turn signals were not working.
Since I don’t have AC on my off road Jeep, I decided to try to relocate the alternator to the area normally used by the compressor. I looked into making brackets, but I found they were readily available on Ebay.
I have been noticing some intermittent drop out of power assist on my Cherokee for a few weeks now. I tried overfilling the reservoir in case there was an air bubble. That lasted for a while, but today the power assist was dropping out at some very inopportune times. So, since I had a new pump on the shelf I decided to change it out.
Since I don’t have an air box, I did not have to remove it. I did remove the electric fan just to get a little better access.
