    Front LCA bushings replacement

    FWIW, I recently replaced my 2009 KK’s LCA’s with Moog units. The Moogs appear to be higher quality than the OEM LCA’s. I like that the ball joints are greasable too! The ride is great!

    2010 jeep liberty sport 3.7. Using antifreeze but not showing on ground and gettin a check engine light

    I agree that you may have a head gasket leak. If you do it can be confirmed by testing for the presence of exhaust gas in the coolant. I have provided a link on how to test your coolant for the presence of exhaust gas. Good luck! Hec

    Aftermarket radio fascia frame

    Ohkk, Here is a pic of the end result. I replaced the 12V accessory plug with a USB port which connects the IPhone to the stereo and also charges the IPhone. I also installed a back up Camera too. Sorry for the picture quality but it’s night time when I took them. Cheers! Hec

    Aftermarket radio fascia frame

    Ohkk I bought the exact same radio fascia on Amazon when I was installing an Alpine ILX-W670 head unit in our 2009 KK. That fascia is complete crap! It’s very thin plastic and heater/AC Vents don’t fit it properly and the fascia didn’t fit the dash well either. I returned it and got a double...

    Cooling fan issue

    Check your electric cooling fan by starting the engine and turning on the AC to full blast cold. That should kick the fan on. If the fan comes on then it's a problem in the coolant temperature monitoring system. Hec

    OME/Bilstein Lift for "Quackers" our 2009 KK

    WheelNut, Yup those front shocks are longer and for a YJ. I decided to replace the clevises for two reasons. The originals were cast as compared to the new stamped steel clevises that superseded them. The stamped steel units seemed to be a better design since they are less prone to cracking as...

    Howdy All! I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season! I thought I would bounce my plan off you guys before I commit to tearing the front suspension apart. I think I should start by replacing the lower control arms, outer tie rod ends and sway bar links. Then move on to replacing the...

    OME/Bilstein Lift for "Quackers" our 2009 KK

    Update: My front preloaded coil overs shipped out today! The 4 Wheel Center said the shocks were set to the lowest setting based on my new rear lifted fender clearances. This is consistent with what others have posted regarding using Bilstein 5100’s on the front. I have received all my front...

    “Unstable Engine Performance and High LTFT1 Reading Issue”

    Looks like the computer is leaning out the air/fuel mixture since there are negative values being displayed. Bank 1 "Drivers Side" is really being leaned out. I would check fuel injectors. I would try replacing each injector on the drivers side with one from the passenger side and check your...
