So I take my Liberty in to get the ball joints replaced and front end alignment done, because I just installed my Rusty's coil lift. Well, today I get a call saying that "someone" hammered in the axle on the drivers front, and made getting the axle nut back on impossible
He told me that I have two options...he can attempt to remove threads and replace a "new" nut on the axle, or replace the entire axle at $900+.
I inspected in myself and am very suspicious. Why in the hell is he taking off the axle nut for a lower ball joint replacement? Is there any OFFICIAL literature from Jeep that explains the procedure to replace them? And finally, I think he is going to tell me that he can't fix it and I have to buy a new axle. Suggestions?
I'm in the military, about to deploy, and have a pregnant wife. I don't have time for stealership games. If anyone can help out, I would appreciate it.
