    Who makes a good quality durable cv axel?

    X2 on Napa cv remans, I also use their replacement boots, I occasionally tear mine down and clean them out and repack them, the outer cv rzeppas in particular benefit from getting cleaned out and repacked every 15k or so, their because of their type they don't circulate grease very well

    KK lift

    In terms of the KK hub to flare measurement, on the show room floor, at least until early 2011, they were 18F/19R stock- the last sub 4+ I have on the books, was leveled at 21.5/21.35 shimmed the front clevis 1/4" , I didn't record any rear extra isos, don't remember adding any, not that it...

    KK lift

    With the front, I think it was a label printer that was printing 924 that looked like a 927 or something like that, I got sent a set of those and just happened to still have a coil spring tester in the shop at the time and noticed it preinstall, well not even preinstall , the guys vehicle wasn't...

    KK lift

    "how is that possible" = due to the coil rate, the only realistic way to test the coil rate on the bench, is to either build a jig to press the springs ontop of a scale and compress them about two inches or so to get the initial coil variance out of the way, then tare the scale, then compress...

    Heater core replacement

    I've made agitator bags several times, they come in handy from time to time- whether they effectively work or not largely depends on the type of buildup that's in the system. In a nutshell, you can plumb two boxed wine bags, or collapsible water bladders up to the heater core, get as much air...

    2007 Jeep Liberty Bilstein 5100s and lift springs

    Which part of your ome lift is on back order? I ordered several this week and didn't have any problems sourcing parts. If it's a particular shock pn I probably have an alternative number for the same shock, especially if it's a rear shock

    2.5" spacers

    and labrat's idea is solid , pounding over the pinch weld, and moulding out of the way, the section ahead of the tire where the fog light access panel is, will alleviate a great deal of the rubbing issues

    2.5" spacers

    there's a couple things to keep in mind, not all tires/profiles are made the same, so one 30" tire on a standardly accepted wheel and backspacing setup, 16x7 4" backspace, may not find anything to rub, and another, will. (inserted photo) P-series AS street tire rubbed only with enough...

    A/C Resistor trouble

    The upgrade blower motor resistor was bwd ru1040 , the original bmrs didn't have enough heat sinking and had inadequate potting, which was the root of the bmrs burning out which usually happened during winter months when users wanted heat but had already gotten the cabin comfortable and were...

    Input on Possible Purchase of a 2002

    The missing lug may have been a removed lock that had no key, I'd just talk them out of a new mcgard set of nuts that don't have the dinky stamped shrouds

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    Good job on the install, yeah any of the non isolated rucas will increase rolling noise, you get used to it though, assuming your hearing is good enough to really notice it, I just hear the ringing mostly, but that's there whether im in the vehicle or not lol

    Steering yoke adjusment

    That sort of thing on the kjs is almost always the rack and pinion bushings , have seen them bad enough that you could push the rack up on its bolts like 3"

    Just now getting in to Jeep liberty

    ^^ yeah finding ome springs via Google shopping is pretty expedient, add a 2 to the coil part number , such as 2927 the 2 just denotes there's 2 , same for the rear, 2948 , there are other coil options from ome but in general there's 2 in common use for the front and typically most find 2948...

    Weird engine behavior rain related?

    Re the vibration, a vehicle that's sat alot will often freeze up it's caliper slider pins. One of the caliper pins on the kj has a rubber bushing, at the least effort clean them out make sure they move freely and that only silicone grease is on them, worst case, azone sells replacement pins and...

    Just now getting in to Jeep liberty

    The front limitation /pre problems/ is very straight forward and simple, the ifs will tolerate about 1.25" of added geometry before you start getting cascading issues like the uca hitting the springs etc. 1.25" of added geometry is enough for 2.5" of lift. Realistically, it needs to be lower...
