    tire size/height question

    A follow up on the Yokohamas. Been about 4k miles. Less noise, better ride, better bad weather traction so far. Only negative is I should have got something a little narrower, this size is a hair too wide for the gas station car wash. May sound minor, but I like the underbody wash for...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Follow up report. Well, guess it was the parking brake after all. I have been using it much more often and the noise has not come back. Guess I had some scaley rust from not using it and that was the cause of it all.

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Mine never made any noise until about 2-3 months ago. I heard the same noise once again this morning, seemed to be coming from the rear this time. This was stupid, but I was p.o'd so I looked to make sure no one was around & grabbed the P-brake handle and pulled it up. Well, we were having some...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Well, I still have this noise, kind of a low moan. I have noticed it when pulling straight out of a parking spot lately, without turning the wheels. I'm trying to remember to set the parking brake, but just not in the habit with an automatic equipped car. Makes me a little nervous about the...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Well, it made the noise saturday, sounded to me and my girlfriend like it was coming from the front. I'm going to try using the parking brake all the time, and see if I can eleminate it as the source of noise. I think it is the power steering, but my mechanic (local garage, not a jeep/DC place)...

    running boards vs other options?

    Thanks for the replies. I'll have to do some shopping. Anyone have some photos in their albums I can check out? Absolute, that was a good laugh.

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Turns out the noise was not from the front, but the rear. Guess my hearing is bad. It was the parking brake. I rarely use it on automatic trans vehicles and it was rusting, the build up of rust scale was enough to rub. Each morning pulling out of the driveway it would rub a little, causing...

    running boards vs other options?

    Lately my Liberty has been taking some abuse in our shared parking lot. Scratches, and dings so far, but others have gotten worse. Of course, the people that do this never say anything. I'm looking for something that will stick out a little bit from the body to protect it some. Doesn't matter...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    I have not noticed any new puddles, so it could have just been the a/c dripping. I had been running it up until this week due to the mostly sunny & warm weather. Lately I've been parking facing uphill, so instead of dripping at the usual spot the moisture could have been running to a different...

    Wanted: running boards, step rails, or similar

    Well, in the 18 months I've been at my new job I have picked up 3 deep scratches and been hit once - so hard it knocked the plastic flare loose from one wheel well. Never happened at my old job, guess I work with inconsiderate jerks now. So, I'm looking for something that will stick out a...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Took me awhile to get back and reply. I have been working overtime the past few weeks and just realized I had a new reply/question. BillyBones, yes when first starting up and pulling out. In fact it is starting to do it more and more and starting to see a few stains in my driveway. I just ran...

    tire size/height question

    Well, I wound up with 23570 Geolanders, still the H/T. Good tread depth, not very aggressive, but looks like it will do good in the rain. I could have saved a few bucks if we went with the A/T. I bought these based on comments I saw on Tire Rack, our typical driving conditions, and price...

    tire size/height question

    I ordered a set of Yokohama Geolander H/T - something like that. All season Highway tread. The reviews looked pretty good on Tire Rack. Getting 4 mounted, balanced, stems, old tire disposal for just a little over $500 from Discount Tire. Could have got the the same tire in an All Terrain for...

    tire size/height question

    I didn't find this addressed elsewhere, so here it goes. The horrible Wrangler 2157516's are shot and need replaced. We are trying to keep this an everyday vehicle with no real need for offroad capacity, but do want to not worry about rain, ice, or snow. But we can't seem to find anything...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    I just wore out the stock goodyears and replaced them with a used set of Cooper LT A/T 22575r16 about 500 miles ago. The height of the tires is very close to the ones that came off. they were free from my Dad, so figured I'd wear them out and get something better then. It is a groan, brief...

    Groaning nosie at low speed turn?

    Intermittent noise, from a stop, on a sharp turn, like pulling out of a parallel parking spot . 2004 4x4 w/45k. Ball joints replaced under the recall. Belt looks good, fluid level for p/s looks good. Any ideas?

    Question related to ball joint recall

    Moderator, feel free t move this if it should be posted elsewhere. Just had the recall LBJ replacement done. I asked if they would check the alignment of the front end, was told it is not necessary. Is this true? Thanks.

    Thinking of adding a Trail Rated Badge? Get the right one!

    Some moron tryed to pry my trail rated badge off my fender last week. Now I have 3 deep scratches around the badge. I would rather got a heat gun and removed it myself & handed it to the guy than have that happen.

    tires

    I am looking for at least one, maybe more, of the stock wrangler tires. If someone has some take offs with low miles, for cheap, let me know. email works better than pm's for me.
