Yup, I'm going to be replacing the rotors and pads currently installed on the truck when I swap the axle, so the lower control arms, shocks, upper control arm, calipers, and rotors were already scheduled for recycle. I already replaced upper and lower control arms on the current axle and haven't...

So I was able to get a rear 4.10 axle for my Liberty. I’ve still got to tear it down, clean it up, remove all the garbage they shipped with it (like a shock still attached that’s bent at like a 30 degree angle toward the center of the axle), clean up some surface rust, and paint and primer it...

That’s where I lost the muffler and tailpipe to my Explorer before I got my Liberty. Wonderful drive and beautiful country out there.

So I’ve got the mount on the axle, got the a arm on the body side bolted on, but I can’t get the heim joint and mount together. My axle either tilts way too far forward or not at all, and so the heim joint is either over the top of the mount or about 4 inches away. Any suggestions for getting...

Good to know. It was a pain to remove the factory ball joint mount because of that, so I’ll leave it off and see how it feels.

I got new bolts to hold the custom mount for the IRO a arm to the rear diff. I could have phrased that better. As for the counterweight, since you’ve had it removed forever, what does it do? Is it just an unnecessary part?

Finally got bolts for the upper arm, bolts for the axle mount, and bolts for the counterweight. Tomorrow I can finally reassemble the back end and take it out for a spin. Very much looking forward to the upgraded and functional rear end again!

I haven’t been able to continue the work on my jeep replacing the rear UCA, because the new bolts still have not arrived. I literally paid almost 10 times the price of the bolts in shipping, and they didn’t get delivered Wednesday when they should have been here. I just got an email from UPS and...

I have not picked up bolts yet. Got referred to Ace Hardware here, and they only have up to 80mm bolts, apparently Copper State doesn’t sell single bolts, only in bulk of 25 or more, and Grainger closes before I leave work. I also missed a local bolt shop here by 15 minutes after work today, so...

I’m approaching 2 years in about a month now, and I’ve learned a LOT during the past two years. Reading up on your experience was one of my deciding factors in choosing a Liberty.

I have not. I can try calling one tomorrow after work to see what they say. Looks like Copper State Bolt and Nut is on my way home from work. That is perfect.

I really like my double din head unit with Apple Car Play. I’ve sorely missed it since I’ve been driving my wife’s civic for the past couple months.

Yeah, it’s the rear. It’s a discontinued mopar part, so I just want to make sure I can find a comparable bolt, and wasn’t sure what the rating was. I got the size, just need the grade to be able to find almost comparable bolts. Closest size I can find is m12x1.75x120mm

I’m not familiar with this bolt marking: I assume is a 10.9 grade bolt, but I figured I’d check here first. Going to get new bolts for the upper arm.

I was able to get it out. One of the body side bolts of the upper arm was just spinning. Now to finish the rest of the removal
