    Front passenger CV axle

    I know a lot of you don't recommend using the Cardone Select 66-3352, but here in Mexico the only alternatives I've found are Duralast (which I have even less faith in) or Mopar from the stealership (they wanted US $400 just for the intermediate shaft). Can't get NAPA shafts here. What I...

    Ball joints in JBA UCA's

    I fitted the OME kit from Jeep'n by Al in Oct 2010. 3 years and 8 months later, but only 28,400km (17,600 miles) I had to change them since the boots had perished. The originals were Moog with black rubber boots. I fitted Raybestos BJ's which have a blue boot which looked more durable. After...

    Could my suspension clunk be the inner CV joint?

    I have had a clunking in the suspension for a while now. First it was the drivers side and I eventually tracked it to the top nut on the front shock not being tight. This was after fitting an OME lift, and the shop that fitted the springs to the shocks had not fully tightened the nut. I was...

    Air bag light

    Judging by the recent spate of posts on this, it seems like problems start cropping up at around 12 years. I am starting to get the light come on intermittently after starting up and it stays on until the next cycle of engine off then on. Since mine is a 2002 without the passenger seat sensor, I...

    Clunking from front suspension drivers side

    I have had this clunking from around 10-20,000km, but lately it seems to be getting worse. It sounds like a loose wheel or ball joint, but I have checked most likely culprits. The sway bar bushings are all good and all the nuts and bolts are tight. No perceptible play in the LBJ or wheel...

    Look, no ratchet straps.

    After having my OME lift (926/948 + OME shocks) and JBA A-arms for a year, I finally got round to fitting. I didn't need ratchet straps to get the clevis back on, or does this only apply to taller lifts? I did not remove the caliper or tie rods and this probably helped preventing the drive...

    P0122

    Got this code today. Disconnected TPS, reconnected. Code gone, wonder if it will return. 71,000km.

    Just received my OME suspension and A-arms

    I just got my OME med. springs and shocks/struts today along with Al's A-arms. The boots on the balljoints (Moog, made in Tawain) do not have any kind of retaining clips/springs on the ball end. They don't look like they would seal very well just pushing against the body of the ball joint. Are...

    Pad Slap

    Did my 4th "pad slap" today at 62,000km (38,500 miles) on the original rotors. The last set were EBC supreme, they were on the metal at 16,000km (10,000 miles). That's about average for all 4 sets, minus the originals which lasted 20,000km (12,400 miles). The 2nd and 3rd sets were also OEM...

    Replacement Fender Flares

    Does anyone have any experience of the non OEM flares such as these: http://www.thepartsbin.com/catalog/?N=9427&Nr=OR(AND(make:Jeep,model:Liberty,year:2002),AND(universal:1))&Vi=1557+10856+4294965398&y=2002&mk=Jeep&md=Liberty Many places seem to sell the same thing. Some a--ehole punched a...

    Diff Oil Confusion

    I am approaching oil changes for diffs and have been checking recommended viscosities. The front diff 186FIA (Model 30) uses 75W140 until 2005 when it changes to 80W90 in the FSM. Did they change anything, other than the recommended oil? Should I put the 80W90 in my 2002 KJ? The 2002 FSM has...

    Engine block coolant drain

    Is this drain plug some kind of sick joke? I can't even see the thing let alone remove it. I don't suppose too much coolant gets left behind if I don't bother draining the block. The FSM procedure has a picture of it, although it doesn't say which side of the engine it's on. It also doesn't...

    EBC brake pads

    Anybody tried using EBC brake pads? I got some 7000 series SUV supreme pads for the front. Supposedly they are designed not to squeal or vibrate, but they are shocking. Squeal like a pig, even after 600 miles of use and this is with copper grease between the caliper and pads. Make all kinds...

    Removing Oil Filter

    Did my first oil change today. I must have the towing option because I have both viscous coupled and electric cooling fans, although I never ordered this. There was no way I could get the filter off from above. I could only just manage it from below, squezing my arm in above the anti-roll bar...

    Installing remote CD changer

    My Liberty is a 2002 Sport with the dealer radio (tape drive and controls for CD changer). Is it possible to connect any type of remote CD changer to this unit, or does it have to be the dealer supplied changer, ie. are they universal? The radio has controls for 5 CD's, if I fit a 10 CD changer...
