What kind of preventative care can I do for a newly bough high mile (170k) Liberty?
I appreciate you guys letting me know well in advance that it was an $80 part plus labor fix. Problem is I repeatedly told the shop when it was towed there on Friday by noon that I wanted to know the problem before they closed at 6pm because if all it needed was that $80 part then I could...- thegreatgate

What kind of preventative care can I do for a newly bough high mile (170k) Liberty?
The $70 part was from Amazon...I just checked and looks like the price might have went up..Currently listed at $103 with only 2 left in stock. The good thing was it had 1 day delivery. The O'Reilly part was $180 (and was just for the CV joint kit). I ended up paying $225 for the rebuild...- thegreatgate

LOL, this is the perfect example of why you do not allow edits past 5 minutes from the post. This sticky should probably be removed considering the first post :shrug:- thegreatgate

What kind of preventative care can I do for a newly bough high mile (170k) Liberty?
So I got a call from the shop and the drive shaft is "really loose". I ask if it is repairable and they said no. Anyways, the scrap yard had 3 different sizes of the re-manufactured drive shafts... A 16.5 inch...another size (can't remember)...and a 19 inch which is the one I have :)...- thegreatgate

What kind of preventative care can I do for a newly bough high mile (170k) Liberty?
Had it towed to a shop by noon. They just closed at 6pm and no word on what the problem is. I tried to explain to them that the part they are gonna buy is probably gonna be $180 from O'Reilly's and I can get it for $80 on Amazon with next day delivery. They obviously didn't understand (was...- thegreatgate

Well, good and bad news. Good news: Went to Belle Tire and got a wheel alignment. Cost was about $47 with tax. Printed a coupon online for $30 off of $50...So bought a Mother's Protectant Spray to put me over the $50 amount and spent about $28 for everything. Bad news: I put Jeep in reverse...- thegreatgate

Took her in for a wheel alignment at Belle Tire (have a $30 off $50 coupon).. I told them to check into the noise it makes while driving. If you have the windows down you can hear a rubbing sound. Almost like a light piece of metal was dragging across the ground. They said the front drive...- thegreatgate

Took it to a shop for an oil change. They looked everything over and said the fluids were good. I had a vacuum leak and they took care of it free of charge. I was told by the previous owner and the mechanic confirmed that the front has new ball joints, new transmission pan, and brakes all...- thegreatgate
