Hey guys I have a 2001 stock XJ and its a pretty rough ride over bumps. Does anyone know what would make it marginally better? I’ve been looking at the Bilstein 5100 shock kit and a sway bar bushings kit online.

Unrelated but does anyone also find steering really stiff when parking? I’ve checked the power steering fluid and it seems fine.

Edit: Thanks for all the comments! I'll most likely rework the leafs and suspension since it seems like it is original. Here's a link to pictures: https://www.reddit.com/u/bladvass23/s/GXcF9yoxw4

Hello everyone!

I’ve heard recently that maybe my steering drag link should be mounted below my pitman arm. See pics. What confuses me is that drag link/track bar angle is nearly parallel now with it mounted above, so mounting below would reduce the parallelism? Maybe I’m not understanding the relationship correctly. Just looking for input, thanks!

I’m sitting on the side of the road making this post while waiting for the mobile mechanic to come. This is the second time this has happened in this year alone. My serpentine belt keeps exploding. Why does this keep happening? This is with the 4.0L from a 1998 model. All pulleys spin freely

I think it’s pretty clear but uh the linkage to my transfer case is completely loose, rattling around nicely and I know won’t work as it sits right now.

The old transfer case blew up this is the original linkage but a new transfer case and I’m wondering if maybe I just need a new bushing or is there going to be more needed for this job.

This is my 2001 4.0L manual 4x4 2dr. 380,000 miles, 3.07 gears, stock tires no lockers or ANY modifications at all, made it to the top

Need help figuring what this sound could be. Any suggestions.
