We are thinking of getting a small travel trailer to get back down to Arizona from Washington for awhile. The Jeep seems sensitive steering at times. So we wonder if towing a trailer will make it more stable or less. Appreciate all help and thoughts. 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited V-6, 4WD, Auto Trans

I removed the shock struts on my 2005 Liberty Limited 4wd in order to replace the shock absorbers. It has a 2" lift kit installed. I was able to find a shop that could disassemble the units, install new shocks and put it back together. However, now I can't get the things installed in the car...

Our 2005 Liberty 4WD has 130k miles. The front drive shaft has some play in it. One shop told me that I should put in one that has been converted to non-cv joint i.e. just universal joints. Is this possible and recommended? I see replacement ones on Amazon for less than $160. Do I need...

We absolutely love our 2005 Liberty Limited. However, it is becoming increasingly desirable to upgrade to heated front seats. Can it be done? Where to get parts? Appreciate all the help

Why a Liberty We are considering a Liberty as we do Geocaching and there are great "hides" out in the Arizona desert. So we need a smaller 4WD. It would also be our full time car except when we are in transit with the RV. I know the 2008 Liberty has a wider track and lower CG to improve...

We are considering purchasing a Liberty to tow behind our motorhome. We have test driven a few and don't care for the freeway handling. The Liberty seems very sensitve and squirrely at freeway speeds. Is there any way of improving it and (I can't believe I'm saying this) making it less...
