Garage found that the front LCA ball joint boot is ripped open.. Is it possible to replace just that component? They wanted $2k to replace the entire LCA on both sides

Thx Tom! Do you know the ideal backspacing for a 15x8 steel wheel with 31x10.5 tires?

Is the clearance to the upper control arm an issue with the JBA control arms? I thought that was part of why they are better.

OK to no spacers. OK to no Wrangler wheels :) I am wondering, with the setup described, if I could use stock Renegade wheels on something wider that 245s… I am just wondering if either the 255 or 265 would work for either 70 or 75. Am pretty sure I need an 8” wide wheel for 265/75 16 (and it...

Thanks Tom! If I keep my stock Renegade model wheels, I know 245/75 are probably best. If I want to go larger / wider would I need to use spacers (I don’t like the idea of spacers personally just curious about options) to get to 255 or 265 do you know what I would need to achieve that width? Or...

Okay, understood. Any suggestions or recommendations on parts? That is why I am posting questions. Thanks

This is what I meant to paste

Does anyone know if these lower front control arms are okay? They are much less expensive than others I have seen. If you have suggestions for others to consider please share. Thx all! The mechanic is saying that it is less expensive to just replace the entire thing than replace the bushings...

I’d rather have the warranty. Thx though!

For my circumstance, I needed to replace the rear lower control arms because the bushings are severely cracked. Someone recommended the Core 4x4 adjustable as a good product / fitment. The Core 4x4 components have a lifetime warranty— you break it and they’ll replace for free. Plus they were...

Great info everyone. So currently I am considering installing the Old Man Emu lift kit, with the Core 4x4 adjustable rear lower control arms, the JBA upper control arms, and need to replace the front lower control arms (because the two bushings are cracking on each side), the “A arms”. What A...

What does “top out” mean? Thx! Obviously and amateur :)

Are these JBA upper control arms only for the front or does the rear also need these? https://jbaoffroad.com/jba-upper-a-arms-for-02-07-lifted-jeep-liberty-s.html. If it doesn’t work in the rear upper, what do you recommend? Also is there a specific part number for the Core 4x4 lower control...

Has anyone ever run 15” wheels from a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara on a 2005 Liberty with a Old Man Emu 2.5” lift? I am wondering if it has enough negative offset to run 31x10.5 15s?

When you say you need the 132L do you mean that I need that for “full articulation” or that they simply do not fit? I don’t care about full articulation at this time. Thanks Tom! Are there any other components I would need per the mechanic’s description of the issues? I am not astute in this...

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade model and purchased an Old Man Emu lift kit from Quadratek a while back. Last week I found out the rear control arm bushings are severely cracked and the front lower control arms bushings are cracking. I think(?) I should go ahead and have the lift kit...

Can someone post a link to the Clear and smoked Turn Signal “from Lithuania”?

Later I found this explanation very clear and understand why there are two ways of viewing what positive and negative offset means. Cheers https://mgaguru.com/mgtech/wheels/wl200.htm https://www.discounttire.com/learn/offset-backspace

I have always been confused about back spacing on wheels. Can someone explain this in simple terms? I want to know what to consider when lifting suspension and upsizing tires, and what to consider if I want the tires to flush out with the fenders (a wider stance). I believe spacers are a bad...
