    ARB Front Bumper Question.

    I’m pondering if i should get an ARB bumper for my 03 Gas Liberty, my main concerns are extra weight and it’s effect on gas mileage and approach angle. Right now with the stock bumper front overhang is super low and looking at pictures it seems like arb bumper will stick out fair bit, so I’m...

    Help diagnose a noise

    Okay i think i figured it out. Took it to a mechanic and he couldn’t figure it out, said everything is tight and looks good. So i bought myself chassis ears and listened to every bit of rear suspension. Turned out its the flex joint on the upper A-arm . It feel tight, i can’t move it with a...

    Help diagnose a noise

    I’m almost wondering if i should try removing the rear drive shaft and drive in front wheel drive mode to see if the noise goes away, and then do the same with front drive shaft.

    Help diagnose a noise

    It sounds like from the rear, and i had the sway bar links replaced not to long ago. I’m starting to wonder if it could be the diff, i had detroit true trac put in it couple of years ago, and maybe the shop didn’t set the backlash correctly.

    Help diagnose a noise

    Every time and i step on the gas and especially when let go of it something loudly bangs underneath the car. I’ve check all the usual suspects (front drive shaft cv-joint, all u-joints are good, control arms in the back are new iron rock with flex joints, all ball joints seem good, engine and...

    Rear bump stops

    Thanks for this picture, looking at your upper bump stop it makes me think i do have a longer one. It looks like i have 3 “coils” sticking out where you have two.

    Rear bump stops

    Thats just a wrong side of the tag, it says 2948 on the other side. I don’t imagine upper bump stop being extra long as i got it as a direct replacement, but i guess anything is possible. I’m really wondering if I should just take out one of the pucks from the bottom or am I risking blowing the...

    Rear bump stops

    I can’t remember the stock ride height, I believe it was 19” and I’m currently sitting at 21.5” so 2.5” of lift. Unfortunately I don’t remember the squish distance i had when it was stock but it would seem it should be bigger then an inch.

    Rear bump stops

    I’ve installed OME Lift springs 2948 in the rear with N132L shocks and two hockey pucks for bumps. But now the distance from lower bump stops to upper one is just over an inch, so anytime a load is put in the trunk the two bump stops come in contact. Basically i only have just over an inch of...

    Yeah it’s nearly impossible to find oem one, and aftermarket skid plates are good but they are $500+ so making your own looks like a good alternative

    TrakMotive XTENDED Travel CV Axles

The boot is made of hard plastic like material that cracks. I installed napa remanufactured cv-axle on driver side and trakmotive on passenger at the...

    A/C on in windshield defrost mode

    Doing this will prevent a/c Compressor from running in windshield defrost mode only or it’ll stop it in windshield & legs mode as well?
