Quote from: 89 MJ on July 15, 2025, 10:21:06 PMIt's for the AC compressor.

Ah! Brilliant. I see it right there in the picture you posted. I deleted the AC components when I went to reinstall everything, so that explains how that bracket slipped through the cracks. Now to write a label on it with a paint pen before I forget or let it sneak into the scrap pile. Many thanks!

It's for the AC compressor. If you were looking at the front of the AC compressor pulley, it would go from the top right hole on the compressor down to the front AC compressor bracket hole. I think I have a picture attached so you can see it.

Question and Answer / Forgotten Bracket
Last post by knobbler - July 15, 2025, 09:58:55 PM
Any idea on what this bracket is for? I forgot to label it, but I think it may be associated with the front axle assembly. It's from a base model '85 wagon w/ AC, in case that helps narrow things down.

Well, I'm back in the desert and the Eagle didn't get much attention over the summer. I added gauges for coolant temp, battery voltage, and oil pressure. Everything looks great, especially the oil pressure. 80 psi cold and 30 psi hot at idle. For some reason, I'm having an issue with pushing a lot of oil out of the breather, even though the engine has good compression. That's a problem for future me, though.

Last post by anrkii - July 15, 2025, 02:48:38 PM
The plastic clips that attach the wheel arch trim that were produced by car-pak are discontinued and can no longer be found anywhere. Most of mine broke during removal.
I have found a DIY solution that is close enough, and works great:


Original eagle clip is in the left side of the image

clip the wings off of one side and then they are a very close match to the original clips.
I thought I would share this to help anyone else looking for these things.
