hello all,a newbie here who owns a 98 cherokee xj 2.5td (dont laugh i like it!) i have a rattle from my 4wd selector handle,especially on idle,and i have seen this link to what i think the little problem might be (http://www.4x4xplor.com/T-CaseTSB.html),and i am just wondering can u buy these or something similar in the uk? many thnx

find out which is rattling, if copper bushing then fit a spring to pull it to one side - not rattle,

If transfer case side then cut off end and weld an M10/12 in its place - this will also stop it popping out when driving extreme

thnx for the reply,though i must admit when i described it as a rattle its more of a vibration and slight knocking noise on the mount where the 4wd selector is,and when i looked underneath i saw that the rubber boot on the torque shaft had gone completely and the rubber gasket is virtually gone aswell thats why i thought i needed the kit in the link.Would the spring method work if i didnt get these rubber bits replaced? as it would still be like metal to metal and no rubber to aborb the vibrations? thnx
