    I agree with you all. I checked the 2002 parts catalog and it is not shown or listed. Found similar products on internet like HICLONE. Definitely to be added to the trash bin products like Jerry's Snake Oil.

    When you got your wheels balanced did they make tire rotation or re-installed the wheels in their original position. I experienced this problem after a tire rotation caused by a bad tire. Switch rear wheels with front wheels and see if problem is still present.

    I must replace the exhaust manifold (cracked) on my TJ 2002. Today I removed the old cracked manifold and noticed that there was no gasket installed for the exhaust manifold.
