I’m changing rear differential fluid valvoline full synthetic with limited slip 75-140 weight ok to use in a 2006? also changing fluid in transfer case with ATV+4. Thanks for all the advice on here, because as luck would have it I stripped the fill plug. So I’m able to drive it since I didn’t...

Replaced lower ball joint upper control arm and outer tie rod end on driver’s side. Will need to replace washer fluid bottle and coolant flush and I think I’m ready for a Chicago winter

Would the Greasable ball joint in Mevotech upper control arm be recommended to the moog nongreasable upper arm? I used all Moog for passenger side but think anything with a grease fitting would be better to those without?

Just finished upper control arm lower ball joint and tie rod end on the passenger side. Will move to driver side in a week is so. Feels good to be able to do that job with your kid with the help and advice from forum and friends.

Thanks, success or at least I think so. Replaced passenger side upper arm, lower ball joint and tie rod end. Got all Moog parts which took awhile to come in but they are in and on the Libby. I pointed the grease fitting towards the engine then I saw it is recommended to face front or back. Does...

Originally I lifted the car and checked for movement by pulling on tire left to right and top and bottom. Now that I pulled the knuckle off I grabbed the top ball joint and it is very loose. Obviously pulling/pushing on the tire left right top and bottom is not the correct way. I saw a video...

Upper passenger side is loose and I’ll replace as well. I am assuming MOOG part number CK3198 is recommendation with MOOG lower? is it normal for the CV axle to slide pretty easily after the knuckle is off? It amazing I felt no play in the front end last month with as loose as everything...

Thanks I’ll order moog replacements for both front. I will check for play in tie rod ends and in upper control arm. I appreciate the help.

Thanks, luckily I was in a parking lot and moving very slow. I don’t believe much else was damaged. It’s a 2006 and I will be checking for play in upper lower and tie rod ends. I haven’t had the Liberty but for a couple of months for my son so I’m glad this happened where it did. There wasn’t...

Just had it towed home. The front passenger lower ball joint sheered off. I saw a couple of videos on replacing upper control arm and ball joints and while it doesn’t appear to be an easy job I’m gonna try and tackle the job myself. If anyone has advice on front end parts to check especially...

Bad thermostat maybe? Is the electric fan working?

I must have jinxed myself my rear drivers side only works in one direction now. I thought the regulator burned out so I replaced it now it does go up but either switch or wiring is bad now. Did you end up finding the connector? Luckily it is stuck up and not down

Thanks, blew air through the drain lines. The silicone was done because the track was bad Had to replace the seal took it for a wash and no leaks.

Repaired sunroof track seal and washed it-No leaks Then took the freshly washed Liberty for a driving lesson.

This thread: https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/required-fluid-types.45270/ Was a good place to start to get an idea of general maintenance and things to look for. It helped us get started with a to-do list and good place for my son to learn. Many of the changes have you tube videos as well.
