Hi all. Dropped the Liberty off at the dealership for a lower real control arm recall and asked them to check a few things. The front has been making noise going over speed bumps and large bumps. Gets louder the colder it is. Also had the oil light coming on on cold starts when its super cold out. Anyways I had a chance to talk to the tech thats going to work on it. (Forgot my house keys so he took me into the shop to get them when I went back). He claimed the sound was from loose balljoints. He was able to get a light squeak to happen by pushing down on the nose. I had read in the past of people hearing noise from the sway bar endlinks. Waiting to hear the official word tomorrow. The only option is to rellace the whole control arm right? Can’t press new ball joints in? Oh and he claimed the oil light is cause by a leaky oil sensor. I hope its that simple.
Also, the tech recommended replacing the struts. I told him I wanted to upgrade instead of sticking with factory parts. I said I was looking at Old Man EMU and he claimed he could price that. I’m new to this area and this dealership so who knows if they would actually price aftermarket parts.
