Thanks for your advice.
Answers: I've done this a few times. Its assured and takes 10 minutes while drinking a beer. I bought my shocks on eBay and they work great, or you can step to a junk courtyard and get them for something like $20 a pair. If you do that construct sure the retainer clips come with them.
On your XJ's takings and body there are orb end studs. Shocks enjoy ball ends that the pins move about into. Holding them in place are the line retainer clips. I couldn't figure out how they worked during the removal so I completed up mangling them beside a pair of plunger nose pliers, but it be obvious after that. The straight bit of the retainer clip goes into a touch hole in the bubble end of the shock, next the stud goes into the globe end of the shock. Then, you simple flip the pin around until it clips the stud into place.
Even if these directions a oblique as you read them, you will see what I mean when you start working on them. Make sure you do one side at a time and prop the take up with something while you work. Chances are, simply one shock is bad. Good luck. Have fun.
One finishing usually has a bolt and the other approaching you said is buried under a plastic cover and probably newly snaps off.
I dont hold an XJ book but I do have a ZJ-WJ book, if they are impossible to tell apart you should be looking for a Torx screw right in the "eye" of the shock mount, on the other terminate their should be a small "clip" you push down. Put a flat head between the mount and the shock, verbs down on the clip and pry out the lift shock.
If you shift and buy new ones look how they come sour to give you a better thought how it comes apart.
Word of advise even a worn shock holds up alot, so do one at a time, those embankment lifts are sweet.
Good Luck fellow Jeeper
