    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    That's too bad. The arm is the same as a a wj if I'm remembering correctly. There was a member on here making the necessary bracket, wwdeisel, not sure. Sorry, I'm not being super helpful.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    filled mine with 3m window weld. I go back and forth on weather or not I like it. You can feel the engine at idle from the driver seat. It really stiffened them up.before filling the voids.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    ready to go! Arrived! Not necessarily a "did to" but a "did with" the Jeep. My Son and I met up with some friends for a trail work (Weiser MTB Club) and campout. I let him drive a good portion of the way out on narrow mountain roads, He's barely 14 and did awesome!

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    That's what I did, it was silly easy. It's also a good time to replace engine mounts while the diff is out.look all this room to work. If your oil pan is questionable, do that too. Mine was great.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    End nippers Will do it, 10 bucks at harbor freight. Or if you know a plumber pex clamp pliers work too. Hope you're boot lasts. I replaced one once only to have it fail quickly. It was more like flexible plastic than rubber.

    2008 3.7 4x4 Motor replacement

    Jasper doesn't sell directly, only to installers. I recently used Fraser for an engine replacement on my 2004 Yukon. They're essentially an engine retailer for various builders including Jasper. One thing I did hear a lot when looking was to stay away from "atk" which is what many parts stores...

    Someone please help me

    I agree with the above. If the cap isn't holding pressure coolant will boil at or below operating temp. Water under pressure has a higher boiler point.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    If your upper control arms were torqued with the suspension drooping it'll cause issues and noises. You could loosen them, bounce the Jeep a bit and the torque. Same with sway bar links. Which reminds me, the sway bar bushings up front can be very noisy if worn-out.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    If one motor mount was in need of replacement it's likely the other does as well as the transmission mount.

    My rear springs on the 2002 kj keep popping off when I'm fully flexed out. I'll post pics below. What can I do to fix this issue . Thanks everyone.

    You could look into limiting straps at this point, but the proper shock would probably be best. Your current shock may be limiting suspension travel in the other direction which is not good either.

    Rear suspension or axle clunk when getting on or off the gas.

    Jack it up by the axle so it's closer to ride height during inspection. The bushings mentioned would be a good place to start, next the ball joint on top of the diff, check for play front to back. Also loose shock hardware or bad bushings there. Lower arms, and I joints at the drive shaft. Any...

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    It's pretty minimal, there's not much those rubber bushings can soak up. They're designed to be running at a lifted height. The bushing mounts are at an angle for lift. I'd imagine it would would as they're designed to move through that point in the suspension travel. You might be putting extra...

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    I'm running the flex joints you definitely hear and feel more vibrations and road noises, but it's not much and you know what it is so it's not concerning. They're tight so don't expect to pump grease in after assembly. Put lots of grease on the joints during assembly.

    Rear Upper Control Arm (Boomerang)

    I have replaced the ball joint and bushings in the stock before and it performed well and has lasted until I put the IRO on. I can tell you the IRO is substantially better and well worth the investment if you plan to keep your jeep.

    Flush new fluid through before replacing caliper, that way old fluid never gets in new caliper.
