trans axle shifter bushings
Wrangler 2008 transfer case cable bushings have failed twice now. The

> bushing. Further I've found two locations under the vehicle that use

> confusion. A cable attaches to the transmission and runs to the trans
> axle, both ends using plastic bushings that have disintegrated (first
> failure). Is it also a cable that runs from the shifter into the
