Dang Blasted rust!!! by
Budd Cochran[_2_]
I got tired of the rear suspension on my '89 XJ trying to knock my dentures
out with every crack in the pavement so I decided to swap out the Rough
Country Add-a-Leaf boosted springs for some stock '92 springs.
The passenger side front bushing bolt gave me fits by trying to pull the
center tube...

Budd Cochran[_2_]
Previously I replaced my 9 front suspension and track bar bushings which
seem to aggravate my wobble so I then replaced all my tie rod ends except
the track bar. Then I set my toe-in to zero.
