We've got rusted out exhaust flanges (at the y-pipe) on my son's 03 Liberty, but the rest of the pipe looks good, it still has the oem catalytic converter. Thinking of just replacing the flanges, anyone know if the y pipe is available, or maybe know the pipe size (or Walker, etc. part number)...

Power steering fluid leak. Slow leak, bottom of the reservoir is wet with fluid, and some on the return line. I replaced the pump six months ago with a new BBB Vision OE, because I thought the reservoir on the old pump was leaking at the o-ring. New pump installed. Still had a leak, but this...

Can anyone tell me what the white gasket is for? I know where the oring goes, but there is a white Teflon gasket also which is about the same OD as the ID of the high pressure hose opening. Doesn't go into the threaded hole easily, but could be threaded in, I believe. Thanks. Trouble i'm having...

Thought this might help someone out....in the event you don't want to purchase oem clamps: for the 3.7L (2002 to 2006): Top radiator hose - engine side is 47mm.....radiator side is 49mm Bottom hose - both are 55mm

Does anyone know either a part number or size (and material) of the little o-rings that go on the metal lines at the radiator? We just replaced the radiator and reused the o-rings (original, 2003 3.7L with 145k miles). And, either I'm nervous about overtightening or the orings are worn out...

Changed radiator yesterday, and noticed the airbag sensor connector was loose, the connector lock is broken and plug isn't staying in tight. Does anyone have one of these connectors (or, pigtail) they would sell? It's a 2003 Liberty. Thanks!

Having a tough time finding a reman Mopar power steering pump. It has an A1 Cardone leaker on it now, so that brand is out. Has anyone used Vision-OE? Or, another good brand? Reman or new? Thanks!

Added Lubegard red to my son's '03 Liberty and the ps pump is much quieter. However, I noticed the leak occurs while the vehicle is parked. It sat for a week and leaked a lot. Sound like the seal between reservoir and pump? As soon as we get some warmer weather I think I'll just change it along...

Always something with older cars.....while hunting for the power steering leak I noticed the coolant level has decreased slightly...again. Maybe losing 3 or 4 oz a month. 2003 Liberty, has 141k on a 3.7L Runs fine, but I did notice some beige droplets in the last of the oil as it drained out...

Just going out to try and locate the ongoing p/s leak in my son's 03 Liberty. Bottom of the pump is wet and drips. I'm going to degrease (again), and see if I can tell exactly where it's coming from. I have a new o ring for the high pressure line. The line was replaced by the previous owner. Is...

Just noticed rust and perforation on the outer shell of the rear lower control arm bushings. It's a 2003, so not part of the recall. The control arms look good. Any advice appreciated, should we replace bushings or the entire lower control arms? Thanks!

I am installing a Dorman split backing plate to replace the rusted out one on my son's 2003 Liberty. I can't get a torque wrench in between the hub and rear axle housing. Do most just wrench tighten them? I'll use Blue Loctite. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how the cam and lever go together for the right (passenger) side parking brake? Ours was apart and there looks to be more than one way to reassemble. Thanks! BTW, this looks identical to the Ford setup, look at Dorman 924-741. UPDATE: The Dorman 924-741 is a perfect and...

I installed one ball joint and it went well. The second one feels 'notchy', not smooth. I cranked the press as tight as I could (foot pressure also). I have little experience with this tool. Sound like a damaged ball joint? Feels weird, not smooth, when you move the ball. Thanks.

Just replaced tie rod ends, lower ball joints and hub bearings. I see the struts are rust buckets. What brand is good, KYB? Monroe? Are the forks strong enough to use, even though they look fairly pitted? Are new ones available? Part number? And, if I can find new ones, do they usually come out...

I am going to replace the lower ball joints in the 03 Liberty 4x4 this weekend. I bought MOOG K3199 ball joints (USA made) from Rock Auto. Got them, and they look great. After looking at the rusty nut and threads on the outer tie rod ends, I decided to get new outer tie rod ends as well. Just...

I did not see anything in either the service manual or online mentioning the need for Loctite on the hub bearing bolts. I torqued them to 96 ft lbs, should threadlocker be used on these? Thanks!

While replacing the hub bearing, I noticed the left lower ball joint boot has cracked and is leaking. I see there was a recall, done in 2006 on this vehicle by previous owner. Does Chrysler replace them again, or are we on our own with replacement? Also, I think I caught it in time, and the...

About to change a hub bearing on 03 Liberty. Service manual states bolt torque to be 96 ft lbs, but online video says 50 ft lbs. It's for the three E14 torx bolts. 96 seems like a lot, does anyone know which is correct? Thanks!

I just replaced the muffler and tailpipe on my son's 2003 Liberty and was wondering about the torque listed in the service manual. They state 21 ft lbs for the nuts (M10-1.5). I thought that was excessive, as a matter of fact, the converter flange almost touches the muffler flange at even 15 ft...
