    Upper control arm removal...why?

    So you just separate the UBJ and top and bottom clevis bolts and can get the strut out?

    Checking LCA Bushings.

    I would have thought that the bolt and the inner metal tube of the bushing should have no movement relative to each other, so that the movement of the LCA up and down causes the rubber to twist. Otherwise if the bush turned on the bolt it would cause wear.

    What I want to know is how the PCM detects the missfire.

    From what I've read on here, your water pump might be close to failing.

    Removing Broken Locking Lug

    I lost a key and just made a flat on each side of the lug with a grinder and got it off with a spanner.

    I don't think there is a problem with the calipers, they would be getting very hot if there was a problem, my wife's taxi driver style of drivig probably doesn't help. Also you would have to see it to believe it, but the number of speed bumps in Mexico City is incredible.

    How many miles on your KJ???

    Apart from the two Liberty's, a 1974 V8 Alfa Romeo and a 2004 Renault Clio Sport.

    I've got 4 cars so they have to take their turn.

    How many miles on your KJ???

    2002 Sport has 38,000 miles, but check this, my 2003 Ltd has 13,000 miles. When I bought it last July it had 2,700 miles.

    Your local Jeep/Dodge dealer may be on the chopping block

    I wonder what will happen here in Mexico, there are heaps of Jeeps here. I could count at least 50 Liberty sightings a day, no exageration.

    I think the OEM pads are pretty good, they lasted longer thn EBC. The only trouble is they cost 3 times the price at the stealership. I don't think the EBC's braked any better either. Maybe a Canadian here knows the Power Parts pads, they cost me about $45.

    Looks like an opportunity for an aftermarket manufacturer.

    Where to buy stock springs

    It's disgraceful that they can make a vehicle with such s..t springs.

    At least changing the pads is a lot easier than changing the oil, ha ha. Especially with the heavy duty cooling which prevents removing the filter from the top.

    Pad Slap

    I think it's got to be down to the traffic and so many speed bumps, you spend half your time breaking. My other KJ lives in New Zealand, that's got just over 12,000 miles on it and the pads don't look very worn at all. Even though the EBC factory is in my home town, I'm afraid I'm not...

    Pad Slap

    Did my 4th "pad slap" today at 62,000km (38,500 miles) on the original rotors. The last set were EBC supreme, they were on the metal at 16,000km (10,000 miles). That's about average for all 4 sets, minus the originals which lasted 20,000km (12,400 miles). The 2nd and 3rd sets were also OEM...

    Anyone know how to/ever replace a door handle? (or have experience)

    They are not so much tricky, as knowing the trick.

    Looking for a little lift with the least amount of troubles .

    But presumably the NS131 is more heavily damped than the NS130?

    Looking for a little lift with the least amount of troubles .

    I think that is answered in the "OME Spring Specs." sticky. The OME light load spring is 350lb, whereas the stock is 310lbs.

    Looking for a little lift with the least amount of troubles .

    I am thinking of going this way since I am almost at 40,000 miles and I have noticed the shocks are getting worn. You recommend the heavy duty springs, would you still recommend them even when most of the time the vehicle is not carrying extra weight? The OME spring specs. in the other Sticky...
