I have an '05 and it will overflow every time if you let it. I normally fill at full speed until the last few gals and do those at the slowest speed possible before the pump shuts off. That is the lazy solution.
Basically you have to act like you are filling a 2L bottle from the sink and...
Bummer. Looks like that will slow down my repair process even more.
On the plus side I'm getting more informed about what to be expecting from the shock operation.
I'm thinking it would be usefull to also test the operation of my current rear shocks when they are off the vehicle as well...
OK, right so as to account for tire height. It is ~ 20 1/4" in back and 19 1/2" in front from the center of the wheel to the fender.
But my real question is about this new OME 90009 shock that won't return to normal position. Tried to capture the problem on video, but took a while to figure...
Also here is a picture of the Jeep in my driveway, which is the only place its gone since the end of ski season.
Fender height above ground is 34" for the front wheels and 35" in back before any repairs.
Update
Thanks Jo6pak and Gyro for the hockey puck references. That looks easy enough to do.
I just got the front suspension parts in (took 2+ weeks and an email!)
The one new OME 90009 shock feels very nice, but the other while smooth in compression will not decompress on its own...
Okay, I was able to pick up 927 springs, 90009 Nitrocharger Sport OME front shocks and Teraflex bump stops from Jeepin by Al. Do I need to worry about bump stops for the rear?
I don't think I do, cause I don't know what they are and they did not come with the OME kit I got. Just 4 shocks and 4 springs.
Which is getting me to my next question, what should I do to get this fixed right. If I am going to buy new parts and try to be smarter about things what should I be...
Okay. Did a bounce/jounce test. Got up on the back tire grabbed the roof rail and got the whole car bouncing. Definitely the front left strut is bouncing 3+ times after I stop the back seems to have about 1.5 bounces. The front right was in-between. The front left also has greater...
Thanks for the reply's. Now with a cooler head I am remembering that I have forgotten to include some other pertinent info.
Last fall I had a bit of an accident where I was in the left lane passing a large truck at night, but behind a bit so It was screening my view of the right hand...
I have an '05 liberty (130k), which had stock suspension and tires on in until last July. I bought an OME lift kit from rocky-road.com for a gas-engine Jeep with standard bumper, which got me the light duty springs for the front and the medium duty for the rear. I got the lift installed along...
Replaced my spark plugs for the first time myself today. Seemed to work fine, but I broke the Tee junction that connects the ventilation output of the two sides of the crankcase into the air intake box. The thing is made of crappy plastic and cracked with only a little misplaced force.
I'm...
