I had 2 different, well known companys try and give me a a belt for a falcon 4L not a jeep one, they swore blind that is was the right one as well, then I got the non air con belt, which was the right size, from a small mob down the road, so i'll try that size, cheers mate

Fixing my death wobble in my TJ hopefully this week.

Motoparts (which use to be AutoPro here) had the bush for my panhard rod (track bar) and I've ordered a new IronMan Steering Stabilizer (damper)..

3 Lessons Ive learnt so far are;

A: If you haven't relocated your breathers on the autos, don't let water get above 75% of your tyre height.

B: When you learn this lesson the hard way and your 4.0 inhales water/silt - Don't replace your sensors with anything but original Mopar parts.

I went through 4 TPS sensors before I borrowed one from an XJ and it solved the prob.

C: If you buy a Jeep with high KM's - Be prepared to drill out the track bar mounting and replace with a bigger bolt to eliminate the ol wobble o death.

Couple of things I have noticed since, there is now a strange whirring sound when the engine is running which goes with the revs, if that makes sense,

and also

my starter motor seems to be sticking on everytime I start it... I turn the key, and as the engine starts running, just after I let go of the key there is a LOUD teeth on teeth grinding noise....


Any thoughts???

Had a look underneath it yet where it was leaning on the sand? Perhaps you have pushed something into a moving part on the front/bottom side of the engine. The pulleys down there could be rubbing on a damaged part which got pushed back, and hence creating the noise that goes up and down with the revs (as the pulleys spin faster/slower). I've done it before.
