    New Shocks and KKM installed, sweet.

    I received my KKM and Rancho RS500's in the mail last week for my 93. I installed the KKM easily and life is much better, I can tell the power difference here at 3500 feet in altitude. I called the Ford dealer in Town here (Ankara, Turkey) and they said they would install the shocks for 50...

    Strange vibration while in 4x4

    OK, I noticed the same shimmy and shake when hard turning my 93 Limited in 4WHI on the raod. It's nice to know it's normal and not hosed up. The one thing that got me was that when I engage 4WHI the steering became noticably tighter and more responsive. I had read previous posts about tightening...

    Loose steering on 93 XLT.

    The steering on my 93 seems is loose. I have about 10 degrees of play to the left and right when driving straight. Is this normal or a problem. I drove my buddy Grand Cherokee yesterday and it's much tighter. Any ideas as to what I can do to make the steering more precise. Thanks. Gan

    New owner looking for performance tips and tricks.

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the quick responses. First off the weather here is Hot, I mean 100 in the shade hot. For the synthetic fluids in the tranny, it's a automatic, how about redline? It's what I used to run in my Saab and it did great. Next, how about sites to get the plugs wires and the...

    New owner looking for performance tips and tricks.
