    Another power steering fluid question - 2003 Liberty V6

    The service bulletin says use only the fluid MS9602. The bottle of ATF-4 says it is the fluid MS9602. Had to go with that in the end. Drained and filled twice so far and it was pretty dirty. On to my next issue - a hissing sound coming from the drivers side area...

    Another power steering fluid question - 2003 Liberty V6

    Thank you for all of the replies. I bought some ATF-4 and am draining the old and adding this to try and recycle out the PS fluid. Called the stealership and they said that they recommend ATF-4 which is the same as MS9602. I guess the red dye in the ATF-4 goes away over time leaving this...

    Another power steering fluid question - 2003 Liberty V6

    The power steering fluid on our car is low and we want to top it off. It is a light dark amber color. Have read through some past threads and fluids thread and there seems to be some question as to the right type of PS fluid to use. I bought some ATF-4 but it is red. A service bulletin (TSB...

    Floor mats and seat covers

    We just purchased an 03 Liberty and I bought some floormats to put in and found that the shape of the floor / sidewall is somewhat unusual - so basic mats don't fit. Can anyone recommend a particular make/model of good quality rubber mats that fit the Liberty just right? Would also be...

    Best tires for highway use - "quiet" ride ?

    interesting... i looked at the label on the drivers door and it says 215/75/16, yet the tires on the car are 235/70/16. not knowing much about tires - would anything in between 215-235 fit? i know rim size is 16 and 70 or 75 must be width, so the first number is height?? can save a few...

    Should we get a Liberty for our daughter ?

    We have the opportunity to buy a 2003 Liberty with very low miles (28k), and it's in like new condition. On a scale of 1 to 10 its a 9.875. On a whim I put "recall" into google and now find that these cars have a safety issue with the gas tank. This car that we looked at just had a trailer...
