    Are you getting any clunking noise?

    No it's not quite that far gone. The rubber is still mostly intact but starting to tear. I do get a slight pop when changing from Reverse to Forward that i think is caused by it but not any other time. I think i'll find the part somewhere and just go ahead and replace it myself.

    Crawl under your jeep. Look at the front diff. Look right on top of it where the mounting point is. There is a bolt going through a bushing. That's the one. If you look at the superlift instructions it has a pic in there where you are dropping the diff.

    Haven't heard from you in a while. Where ya been?

    I know what your talking about now. I'll probablly swap mine out soon. There are a few issues with my front end that need to be addressed. I'll be purchasing JBA UCA's here in the next month or so due to the outer edges of my tires cupping so i'll probablly swap out that isolator at the same time.

    I have been gone a lot lately with the Army and finally returned home for a few weeks. I just recently hit 90,000 on the XK too!
