Technical Discussion - Beginner / Repair / Re: 1992 Sidekick JLX

« Last post by RJkick on November 25, 2025, 01:18:10 PM »

I have limit straps but will take the spring out to check full droop and stuff to see if that shows anything.  I have the 3" Calmini drop brackets.  I want to do the CV Axle conversion but that is for the passenger side correct?  This is the driver side.  On a crazy side note it is not pulling out currently.  I went to snap a picture of it, as it dawned on me after years that would help everyone with my cryptic descriptions, and it is working normally.  I'm not mad at it but am confused.  Happy Thanksgiving week to all

You may still be over-extending the suspension on droop. Do you have drop brackets for your center section? Also, you may want to convert/make a flange mount stub shaft axle for that side so you can have the same CV axle for both sides. There are a few articles on the main part of this website that help beef up the IFS part of a Sidekick. Good luck! -Eric

Technical Discussion - Beginner / Repair / Re: 1992 Sidekick JLX Driver side inner axle sliding out slowly

« Last post by RJkick on November 16, 2025, 12:53:06 PM »

Could the inner axle be popping out slowly from a worn out but not failing C-Clip? 

Is there a specific C-Clip or would the below work? Do I need the Optional O-Ring to go under the C-Clip?

 Looks like Sebrina and I are going to end up missing out this year. Had some equipment go down for a couple weeks at work so now we are working extra time to try and catch up. Don't got no vacation days left so I got to go in. Hope you all have a great time.

Remember, we're going to the dunes so you'll need an OHV tag AND a flag!
