The bushing is on :) My oldest son came up. When he found out he couldn't just push it on he wrapped his thumb in elec tape and pushed it in. Now I just have to go back out there and finish things up ........ which should be easy.

I've tried channel locks but one side of the bushing goes in and the other side pops out. I feel like I just don't have enough strength in my fingers anymore. My grandson is off work today so hopefully he will have better luck. Guess it won't be today, my great grandson was sick all night so...

Yes it's the bushing on the end where it hooks up to the transmission. The replacement bushing is clear. If I don't get it on today I'll buy those pliers - I also belong to the can't have too many tools club. I tried yesterday to use a bolt and washers to squeeze it on but it would turn...

The bushing on my automatic tranny linkage fell out and I'm having a hard time pressing the new one in. My fingers don't seem to be strong enough and pliers or channel locks won't squeeze it in straight - the bushing turns instead of going in. Any ideas ?? almost forgot, it's a 2010 JK

Wow! ....... but the rear brakes will never overheat :ROFLMAO:

My JK has 18" rims and along side another JK with 16" rims it's noticeably taller.

I had a 1990 XJ for 13 yrs. I replaced the TPS twice with an after market one during the first 6-7 yrs before replacing with a factory one so there maybe some truth in what JPN said. That TPS was still working correctly when I sold it.

Have you tried using a heat gun?

I've never seen a lug nut strip out like that. Could you take a chisel and turn the nut? A lot of modern vehicles have those stupid chrome lug caps. I bought my JK brand new and when I went to rotate the tires the first time one cap was missing and several came off. I complained to the dealer...

I agree! but I do believe they make the best stock 4x4

I've never owned a farm jack but I keep a bottle jack and a couple of wood blocks in my 4x4 truck.

A faulty speed sensor can apply the brakes usually during or after a turn and be fine the rest of the time.

A faulty speed sensor can engage the brake but that normally just affects one wheel - which will get hot. But that won't cause a wobble as far as I know.

It's been a long time since I had an XJ but seems like the belt was always a tad narrower than the pulley.

I had to get a new card earlier this yr. They told me 10 days unless expedited. I asked how much that cost and they said no charge. I got my new card in 1-2 days.
