    Front End Rabbit Hole, Tell me when to stop

    I was working on the brakes last night and noticed the issue with my front left brake vibration and warping was caused by a seized caliper pin. I tried heat and other methods to no avail so I will be adding a new caliper bracket and pin to the mix. I noticed upon working on this side that...

    New Tri Link still a slight knock here and there

    Understood. Yes it was the right part # cross checked a few places to be sure. I rocked the car back and forth yesterday and I can hear it coming from the connection point of the tri-link to the differential. My only guess is the bolt is not tight enough or I need to grease where they connect?

    New Tri Link still a slight knock here and there

    Shocks and springs were replaced last year. The lower control arms are the only thing left really. Given that all else was done I may just throw these on and see what happens. Going to do it when I do the brakes this week. I recheck the torque on the shocks as well

    New Tri Link still a slight knock here and there

    I replaced the tri link and the rear ha quieted down significantly. However at random times and only occasional bumps it will still give a slight clunk or almost pop sound. I’m wondering if overtightened or did not tighten things enough. The ends were done to 100 ft. lbs. which I read should...

    Tri-Link and Other areas to Grease

    So I'm going to replace the tri-link this weekend and also the lower control arms on the rear. Since I'm doing a 4-wheel brake job as well I figured I would take the opportunity to grease a bit. I need some advice on if the control arms in the rear and tri-link should be greased and whats...

    Fix for the notorious KJ handbrake lever problem...

    OMG, going out to get a piece of bungee or spring and build this little setup to fix my wife's brake. I replaced the shoes in the rear which literally crumbled in my hand but this will definitely solve the other issue. We can yank it all the way up and get literally no grab.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    New rotors and pads for the front and rear. Turns out the front warped, still miffed they do not have Brembo blanks anymore for this car. I put them on my fathers JGC and they have been flawless. I picked up a front set of rotors/pads from powerstop but they may have been faulty from the get go...

    A/C not working - no cold air

    The way we diagnosed was to ensure the clutch was engaging by the steps posted above. Once that was confirmed we bought a recharge kit with dye in it. This primes the system then allows us to use the goggles/light to find where a possible leak was. Turns out it was a tiny pinhole in the...

    Rear Cargo carriers

    thought about using one for our trip to Jersey but picked up a Roof Bag for $40 from Amazon that worked just as well and kept everything in vision through the sunroof just to be sure it stayed secure.

    Caliper Brands

    I've seen Raybestos for $80 but for the fronts I am looking to change out I may just go to Napa or Advance Auto. The car is a daily drive and not put through anything harsh. My understanding is most of these are reman anyway.

    Valvoline MaxLife- High Mileage Blend

    I've tried a few different types of oils, used to used Valvoline Max Life for awhile in another car with no issue. However I've found that Castrol Edge full synthetic 5W-30 works best for the Liberty. 180k miles seems to keeps any leaks or disappearing oil at bay. I've learned to keep changing...

    Driver Front Caliper or something else?

    I gotta look into this, not sure how hard it is to drain, bleed the system after all that.

    Driver Front Caliper or something else?

    The front left brakes have plagued me for a long time on this car. I've replaced rotors/pads as needed, new clips, greased, but I still get a few noises. One I am pretty sure is the wheel bearing because I get a whoom whoom sound while driving that is really noticeable on the highway. Obtaining...

    Poor off road handling

    Sounds like what my wife's Liberty turned into when we put Michelin Latitudes on the car a few years back. Once we swapped from more rugged tire to these they were terrible in the snow. The car would slide around but eventually get you there, it really left a lot to be desired from such a...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Changed out the belt after a front main seal. It was getting loud so I went for a high end Continental Poly V. The difference was immediately noticeable. The engine is SO much quieter with this new belt I can actually hear the motor now. Onto the front left wheel, can't determine if it's...

    PCV relocation?

    Wouldn't using a funnel pretty much prevent this? I could pour carefully and not spill but using a funnel just makes logical sense.
