We are currently investigating a complete sample of 32 sources selected from the MOJAVE sample of highly relativistically beamed quasar jets to examine the correlations between X-ray and radio emission on kiloparsec scales. Previous Chandra observations have detected X-ray jets in 12 of 18 members of the sample, and we are carrying out cycle-9 observations of the remaining 14 sources. Our initial detection rate of 60% should yield a useful new list of X-ray jets for future detailed study with Chandra, Spitzer and HST. A primary goal of our survey is to better understand the mechanisms for large-scale X-ray jet emission, by using viewing angle and speed constraints on the sources derived from the MOJAVE VLBA kinematic monitoring program. We discuss the correlations between X-ray and radio knots in our new images and the relation between apparent bends and sudden decreases in the X-ray/radio flux along the jets.
