    HOW TO: 'Band-aid' a shot Steering Rack Bushing

    Well here it is about 7000 miles later and I started to notice a bit more play in the steering. So I pulled the skid, removed the rack bolt and rubber washers I had installed way back when. Here they are: The top rubber washers were in pretty good shape. You can see however that the...

    HOW TO: 'Band-aid' a shot Steering Rack Bushing

    New bushings are only $25. Problem is, you nearly need to disassemble the whole front end to get it out. TJKJ2002 was able to snake it out without dropping the front diff. Otherwise the shop manual calls for it to be dropped completely. Nothing like a +/-$500 of labor to replace a $25...

    UPDATED 04-18-10 Posted on LOST as well: Symptoms: Sitting on pavement, Jeep not moving, rolling the steering wheel back and forth a bit causes a couple good pops/clicks that you can feel in the wheel. It's now got a bit of slop before the wheels begin their turn. Happens either...

    Skid Row tranny skid pics

    I've bashed mine enough to bend it up into the exhaust as well a few times. Also, eventually (with fun abuse) the front bolts spacers will push up into the hollow frame rails (creating dimples) so now I need extra spacers so as to clear the exhaust. Otherwise it's stout. Gotta love the...
