Lots of Libertys...
Was at my favorite salvage yard 2 days ago and they had put 4 additional libbys on the yard the previous day. Good pickings. They now have over 20 on the yard. Lots of libbys on the roads in metro Atlanta and the '02's - '05's are hitting the salvage yards. People in our...
Rear axle differential....
Welcome to the forum wo shi. Can you attach photos of what parts you need? Then perhaps someone can help. As you know, shipping will be expensive as axle differential parts are heavy.
Ground cables
Ground cables to your engine are critical! I have had 2 experiences where the engine ground cable became disconnected. Both caused the current to find alternate routes - one through the gas pedal cable and one through the clutch cable. Both caused severe overheating and melted...
jack
The jack and lug wrench is under the passenger side rear seat if you have one. Look there. A previous owner may have removed it and not put it back. If so, check with salvage yards.
Salvage yard strategy
I always go for parts to improve my Jeep. I replace trim pieces that are worn or scratched. The rear cargo panels and carpet were badly worn on my Libby so replaced them with good ones. Found a perfect leather steering wheel to replace my badly worn one. I also buy...
Simplest things first
My wife constantly reminds me to check the simplest things first. So, check your grounds and power connections first. Start at the battery and check the cables. Check both positive and negative connections going to the body and engine. Corroded and/or dirty connections...
Question...
tommmudd, what do you mean by a "so-so suspension"? Is the OEM suspension considered "so-so"? OEM suspensions are a compromise between handling and comfortable ride. Race car type suspensions give a hard ride. Luxury car suspensions give a comfortable ride but don't corner...
Nylon Bushing
I bought a 5/8" od x 3/8" wide nylon bushing with a 1/4" hole and a 1/16" diameter wire clip from Home Depot. I drilled out the hole to 5/16" diameter, inserted the bushing in the shift cable, pushed the bushing over the stud and retained it with the wire clip. IIRC, total cost...
Have set of Taupe color OEM front floor mats in excellent condition for 2002-2007 Liberty. Can send photos if requested and send email address. $30 with free shipping.
Found a pair of 2003 Liberty Renegade tow hooks at the salvage yard with mounting hardware. Want to mount these on my 2003 Limited. Does the front bumper have to be removed to do this or can they be installed with the bumper in place? Thanks for any help.
PS: If anyone needs left or right...
kjfan18, this is what I am talking about, a root cause. Were you hooking up a trailer? If so, the surge caused the fuse to blow. Whatever the reason you need to find it to determine if further danger exists. Thanks to Birdman330 for sharing his experience. Good to know this can happen...
Fuse blown...
When a fuse blows there is a reason. What caused the current overload to blow the fuse? You need to find out as the cause could lead to serious problems. Frayed wire shorting out? Short in a component? Circuit overload for some reason? or defective fuse, although I have never...
Grounds
Check the grounds for poor contact. Get an electrical diagram and start checking the grounds one at a time until you disconnect and clean them all. Had a similar thing with a Honda Passport and it turned out to be a ground in the engine bay. Saabs are also susceptible to hinky things...
Knock..
Check the axial play of your crankshaft. I had a manual transmission that had worn the engine thrust bearing from too heavy a pressure plate. The worn away thrust race allowed the crankshaft to move enough axially for a rod to hit the engine block intermittently causing the knock to...
Engine knocks...
Engine knocks can come from bearings but these usually go from bad to worse quickly. A knock can also be from the wrist pins in the pistons or piston slap in a worn engine. These are more subtle and can come and go depending on engine temperature. An experienced mechanic can...
Intermediate steering shaft
Be careful about welding or putting a bolt in the steering shaft. On some vehicles the design is for the intermediate shaft to collapse in a collision as part of the safety equipment. Collapsing steering columns are meant to keep the steering column from spearing...
