what did you end up doing ? The bottom of drivers door is starting to get crusty…thinking it’s the seal going…

after jumping on the front and driving back and forth a few times it’s pretty damn close and much better than it was initially. I couldn’t wrap my head around how just rolling the adjusting sleeve would move the steering wheel but it worked and is good to go now, went almost too smoothly...

So I installed the new joint (the first time) with the drivers side jacked up for easier access to the nut and bolt. Put it all back together and drove it quick and it didn’t seem right. Which I’m assuming because the axle was not level/vehicles weight on it. So I jacked up drivers side again...

Are you talking about the “retainer ring” for lack of better term facing down ? Only issue with that I see is it’ll make greasing a bit cumbersome but if it’s safer...then I’ll do it that way. EDIT: ended up installing grease fitting out for now, I’m kind of weary of torquing all the way to...

Anyone know offhand what size the OD of the jam nut is ? I’m assuming over an Inch, none of my wrenches are big enough and the adjustable isn’t cutting it so far.

Started install, thought the bolt was going to be the problem, ended up taking off front tire for more room broke it loose fairly easy, probably should’ve done the jam nut first and hit it with a penetrant a few days ago it’s giving me a hell of a time getting it off, hit it with the yellow Map...

The EMF joint showed up today, a day late but reasonable time coming from Canada I guess. Was packed well and they threw in a couple stickers. Joint seems well built and stout, hoping to install tomorrow. The noise I had thought was the heim joint wasn’t... I brought jeep in for alignment and...

Mines enroute from Canada, I found the joint on another thread and jeep forum and the poster said they had it for a few years without issue. Little more expensive than the other Heims but seems like it’ll Hold up to the elements better. Impatiently waiting for delivery next Tuesday.

I’m curious as well, I checked out my rear heim and it’s a bit grimy, again my fault, being up in New England doesn’t help but not sure if I want to drop $50 on the MC replacement, tho I’m having a tough time Finding a 3/4 thread heim with a 7/8 ball Bore...and they use a misalignment spacers...

Oh ok gotcha. That’s no fun ! Im Leaning toward the EMF Heim now.

Hey did you ever do the JJ swap in place of the heim joint ? Having issues with mine and would rather find something different.

Gotta love sub 2 day shipping times! Hooked it up good to go! Going to try and apply some kind of clear sealant on the motor end and get some new terminal Boots to clean it up a bit.

Tried my hand at soldering it, skills are definitely subpar lol, put it all back together a few times, hooked up my jump pack to it, got a quick spark when applying to positive terminal and then nothing. After a few failed attempts into the trash it went and I ordered a new one. Not worth my...

So I got the positive terminal/bolt out, I THINK I found the spot on the brush assembly, dumb question but is this something I can just solder ?

I pulled the gear housing and was surprised it wasn’t rusty all, seemed to have plenty of grease and no broken parts. That’s my dilemma, spend the $100 and just make sure I use it once a month to keep it good or spend more. In all honestly I haven’t been able to off road at all this year...
