    Thump when coming to a stop

    That's funny that everyone's "thump" is different...some when they start to go again and some when they come to rest. Mine is when it comes to rest...not once I hit the gas...so still no idea why, just that it isn't a problem...I hope.

    Thump when coming to a stop

    okay, good to know its not just mine and that it's nothing that will cause it to break down any random time. Thanks for the feedback!!

    Thump when coming to a stop

    okay. i haven't noticed the abruptness of the stops when it happens...I'll pay more attention to it though...but if no one thinks it's a major issue that makes me have one less thing to worry about.

    Thump when coming to a stop

    no, it doesn't feel like it wants to move...it feels more like the back end is settling into a groove or slipping down into a crack...kind of hard to explain lol. If anything the movement feels more reverse than forward.

    Thump when coming to a stop

    There is a weird, noticeable thump when the jeep comes to a stop. I'm not sure how to explain when it happens, but it's like the split second the jeep settles back after coming to a complete stop. You can even kind of feel it as well...maybe bad differential mounts, or something to do with...

    Questions about brakes...

    okay, that helps...because right now there is no shake at all in the steering wheel, it is just the pulsing in the pedal. I'll start with the rear ones and then if that doesn't fix it move on to the front. Thanks for your help!

    Questions about brakes...

    Okay, I looked the other day and I have all 4 disk brakes, no drums. So that's good. Is there any way to narrow down which rotors need to be replaced? Would warped front rotors feel different when braking than rear ones? Just trying to find a way to spend less $$ right now due to the lack of...

    Questions about brakes...

    Not sure...I've only had the jeep about a week. I'll check out the rockauto site, I hear they are pretty good. I will probably replace them instead of getting them turned down. Might sound dumb, but if I didn't have disks, what else would I have? Are you referring to the rotor or the brake...

    Okay, sounds good. I'll have to get the haynes manual for the write up on how to do all that.

    Questions about brakes...

    Ah okay, I was hoping it was simpler than that...when I bought it the guy said the pads were new but I don't remember him saying anything about the rotors.

    Questions about brakes...

    I have a 03 sport, automatic and I've noticed that when pressing the brakes, they seem to pulsate...you can both feel it in the petal and kinda hear it too. It's not because I'm braking hard on slippery roads, it happens all the time. It is less noticeable when going at slower speeds, but when...

    About to buy a used liberty...

    Alright...sorry, I'm new to all this jeep stuff. It's the command-trac...not the select-trac. There is no full option on the handle. That's about all I know so far. lol Are there any write ups that go thru when you're supposed to use 4 wheel drive verses 2 wheel? I know on only slippery...

    I just picked up an 03 liberty sport. I did some searching and didn't find much on how to hook up an ipod to the stock radio. Someone mentioned that you can get this one off ebay...

    About to buy a used liberty...

    About to buy a used liberty...

    Thanks everyone, your comments help a lot. Definitely wrote it all down and will check with everything on all the ones I look at. Are there a lot of differences between the sport package and the limited? The limited are a little higher than my price range from the ones I've found in my area...

    About to buy a used liberty...

    Thanks. Is the CRD a lot different from the gas ones? Man there's a lot to learn about new cars....I'm used to my older cars lol How do I figure out what rear axle it has? I can already guess that the smaller dealers in my area won't know much detail other than the name it. I've already...

    About to buy a used liberty...

    How do I look for water pump trouble...Chances are I'll get the 3.7 Auto V6. How is the timing belt on these? I've had trouble with other cars I've had. Is this a belt or chain? What should I look for when inspecting the front end and ball joints?
