    Front end maintenance

    The 900.00 was for "power flushing" the manual transmission and replacing with "clean" fluid. The only thing I see getting flushed is my money.

    Front end maintenance

    I guess I am going to give it a shot. Doing new brakes on the rear and starting on the front end. Its funny, it doesn't seem sloppy but under hard steering input it seems softer. At 115k I guess it would. Is Rock Auto the preferred vendor for upgraded parts? Any other vendors I should look at...

    Beefier than stock front end?

    Trail Rated?

    Is there really such a thing? My Liberty is a 2004 Trail rated model. What makes it trail rated? Looks pretty normal under there to me. Although it did climb the mountains in Front Royal, VA like a billy goat. :icon_razz: Thx, Don

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Hi Bob, Mine is the boomerang and I have a brand new one from Parts Geek with ball already inserted. It is not like the ones on a cherokee where the housing needs to be removed. At least I don't think so. BTW like Parts Geek service very much. I have already loosened the bolts at the end of...
