Getting a clicking sound from the front when 4WD engaged. Anyone out there experience this and what was the outcome? 2007 Liberty no frills

Not sure I'm you're "how to" guy. And I basically followed all the sound advice I received in this thread and other, similar threads. Wasn't a tough job mechanically speaking - quite simple actually. Just tough getting some bolts out. Lots of swearing, bruising and lost knuckle-flesh. :)

Happy to report that I finally got this project finished. Learned a bunch.

I suppose 6-7 years of rain, snow, salt, mud, etc. would seize me up a bit too. Problem is I can't get a good whack at it - pretty tight in there. But I'll try again tomorrow before the Packers game. But not during!

OK, so how does one get out that f#$@^*g pin?!?!? Won't budge.

It must just slide through, because the head has a welded piece on it to stop it from rotating when tightening the nut.

Another question. I finally got the nut off, but I can't get the pin out. Is the pinch flange also threaded, meaning I have to unscrew the bolt to get it out? That'll be tough with the rounded head. Or does the pin just slide through the flange?

Yeah - that was a really dumb question wasn't it? LOL. Sometimes I should just leave it to the pros.

Frustrated that I cannot get this bolt to budge. It has occurred to me, however, I may be stupid. So I seek wisdom. Is the bolt head welded to the pinch bracket, therefore requiring me to remove the nut? Or, is the nut welded to the pinch bracket, thus requiring me to remove from the bolt...

Thanks TJKJ! And everyone else. I'm like one of your (the "collective" your) kids. I only write home when I need help or money. Awesome site - never quit!!

Thanks everyone. Quite a difference price wise between OEM and others. Yikes! Does the project require support of the differential with a jack during replacement? I've seen differing write-ups about that.

Thanks all - appreciate the input. Is the ball joint easy to replace? Also, if I change the ball joint, should I also change the bushings?

More information. Rather than calling this a vibration, I'll call it a "groaning" noise. It seems to be coming from center, directly below the rear seats. Now I'm thinking it is the upper rear arm control ball joint. Would that make sense? Also, could bad UR arm ball joint have caused the...

Only does it with the trailer attached.

Lower control arms were recall replacement not too long ago. Haven't checked the upper arms - what should I look for there? 2007 Lib with about 76K on it. Not sure if it has ABS - I'm assuming. I bought it used a year ago.

Hello all: When under load with my trailer, I get a rear-end vibration when hard braking. Doesn't happen when not under load. No play in the driveshaft at the rear u-joint. But I just noticed there is a fluid leak on the u-joint side of the rear differential. Any ideas?

My brother owns a 2004 Lib and the rear window latch is stuck and he can't close his window. He tried resetting the latch using the rear door handle, and has tried his key fob, but neither has solved the problem. In researching, it is probable the switch located in the handle is "bad". Is...

A tap is a beer dispenser.

I paid right around $12K for an '07 Sport w/ 55K on the odometer. Midwest. Before trade.

. . . that my first towing experience with the '07 KJ was wholly positive! Just a 6' X 8' utility trailer with an ATV, so I wasn't too worried. But it handled well on all roadways, including the Interstate. And it achieved nearly 21 mpg's overall despite keeping the unit out of overdrive...
