177,534 km on mine.
If most of that was highway and the previous owner changed fluids
at the proper times, your ZJ should be in good shape. That knock could
be a old fuel filter. Easy fix, it's down by the fuel tank.
Check the distributor for oil. If it looks like my old one did you
need to fix it soon. That will cause rough run and idle problems.
(writeup on my site)
I'd probably replace the swaybar and trackbar bushings as those
do wear and it's relatively an easy fix.
Got a writeup for the antisway bar on my site.
Anyhoo.. first thing you should get is the FSM (Field Service Manual)
from Jeep. It's better than Chiltons by a long shot.
Good luck with your new Jeep.

Re: more advice needed- 96 jgc laredo
Thanks Doug,
Most the suspension is being replaced with a RE 4.5" lift kit which will go
on in the next month or so. I will check out those items to see if the
knock goes away but I can't see it being that. If it is then that would be
cool though. The idle and running is actually quite nice. The power seems
to be there too which surprised me for an engine with knocking. It could
even be some loose torque convertor bolts I assume too. I haven't had a
chance to crawl under it yet and I have yet to take it in for emmisions or
safety. I will be doing a full write-up on the work on my site at
www.canadianoffroad.com when I get around to it.
Should be some fun work. I have heard about the FSM and I think I may just
grab one. Thanks for the info!

Re: more advice needed- 96 jgc laredo
I'm sure you have a mandatory SMOG inspections, which will record
mileage. Are you required to report all accident of five hundred bucks
or more? Anyway try it, and find out.

Re: more advice needed- 96 jgc laredo
I have a 93 XJ with 358889 km's on it.. the engine still runs nearly
perfect, on cold days it has a slight knock.
so having high mileage is no big deal on a J**P.
Just cause it has rust doesn't mean it has high mileage and that the odo has
been rolled back. Your in Canada man .. and chances are unless your from
BC or Manitoba you live where they love road salt in the winter.
If your that concerned with the rust, take it into rust check and have them
soak the J**P with it, best thing you could do.
