It's KJ balls. lol actually its called the harmonic balancer i believe. It's supposed to be some sort of dampener for driveline vibrations. It isn't a roller though, so dont worry about it being frozen. Mine looks just like that rust color too plus some rock rash. later, mike |

LOL!  Here we go again...... 
I removed them from my KJ's so now they can't reproduce. Spay & Neuter your Jeeps to help control the Jeep population. I bent the crap out of them on my blue KJ so I got rid of them. I decided to just remove from our khaki KJ so they wouldn't get beat up. I have not noticed any difference in vibrations. |

So it doesn't hurt to take the KJ's balls off by force? That's good to know.

You just wanted it to look like your "Rearend" ......Did it burn?
And not meaning to hijack your thread HyperKJ,but I can't resist tellin you guys an inocent story of a lady who came out of the lobby while I was changing her oil and said "Would you mind checking out my rearend?......My husband said he stuck his finger in there and could'nt feel anything." ....Almost peed my pants laughing.

the KJ has never been happier I though, feel a bit ashamed Spray them after you get the rust off and the WD-40 will prevent further rust. Spray them about once a month or after heavy rain/water fording. |
