Lensman, or anyone. My Mische bracket came in the mail today! Quick question. Can this just be done with a long / large enough socket wrench? Or to tighten the bolts should I buy / rent a torque wrench?

Huh. So no steering wheel extender? Just need two inches. If not, maybe the seat extender rails aren't worth it.

Hi! Up front, I'm 6'9" and all legs. I've had this '05 Liberty coming up on a year, and driving it has been a literal pain. I've developed a wicked case of IT Band Syndrome, per my physical therapist, by having my leg at a > angle (where my knee is where the point is), instead of, you know...

I'm going to check all this after I get off of work tonight. However, would it cause that weird groaning noise? Again, this happens when I'm not moving. Could this divot had hurt my transmission?

Alright. Automatic transmission. So last week I was driving through some construction and hit a MASSIVE divot in the road. It literally sounded like my right tire popped, it was so loud. Ever since, turning right has felt tight / harder. And I have a squeaky noise every time I hit a bump. But...

Also. Does a seat extender rise the seat any? That's bad for me. I'm SUPER tall, and have a hard time seeing street lights when I'm close to them waiting to turn green. Have to lean over.

Thanks. I think this is a great idea. Also, in that thread, one of the owners mentioned tearing out the carpet and removing some foam. I'm assuming that area right below the console that restricts some of the space in the footwell isn't foam, so I can't tear that out. Can I?

Maybe it's my height then, and the way my knee is angled to get there. Hmmmm. But that's a good idea though. I'm coming from driving a manual transmission anyways. So it would feel familiar.

05 Jeep Liberty. New to me. It feels like ever since I got this Jeep it's been one thing after another lol. I had to brake hard the other day. And my Jeep kept going, despite me pressing the brake pedal to the floor. So I hard to swerve to avoid the car that stopped for a cat. When trying to...

It's stopped doing that when braking. Literally, it happened three times the moment I took it off the lot, then just stopped completely. However, it still does it randomly when reversing, going into driver, then hitting the gas.

Okay. Took it to the mechanic, as I didn’t have time to fix this on my own. Going on a trip this weekend. They agreed with all your assessments, though they didn’t feel the weird clunk. They did pretty much everything you all talked about, test drove it, said everything felt fine to them. The...

How much tighter would those control arms need to get? With my limited tools / time, I checked all the bolts I could and could barely budge any of them tighter.

awesome! Gonna try this tomorrow. Any suggestions on what mm to use?

I took them in two weeks ago for the recall. They should be fine.

So. I got the clicking / twig snapping noise taken car of. (inner control arm). Now, when O reverse from park and put it into drive, then press the gas no matter how softly, it feels like the jeep kind hitches / shudders. And sometimes I can feel, rather than hear, the clunk. I can repeat this...
