Need urgent help

[Tarikleesimsek]

hey guys. I have finally found the problem have been having with my liberty. Rear driveshaft U-joint is worn and need to be replaced but I believe driving the car around like that has caused the differential and rear subframe bushings to go bad? I see they are literally torn apart. The problem is that I can not find these parts so I can replace them. I believe they are not called what I think they are...? Here I have attached pictures below. Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

The boomerang thingy is called the rear trilink/ rear upper control arm. It's easier and less expensive to replace the whole unit instead of just the bushings and ball joint. Make sure the replacement is the Mopar HD one for factory quality, cheap ones won't last.

The Ujoint is a completely different issue, it's a $20 fix. Take the driveshaft out and get a balljoint C clamp press to press the old u joint out.

I had mine become disconnected from the rear diff and had everything replaced, No more clunk from the rear end when off road or going over speed bumps and Prius's.

Part number is 52088901AD. BUT make sure you get the MOPAR one. Rock auto has it and morris 4x4 has it (Their 52088901AD-M is the heavy duty one there).

Thanks so much guys. My mistake was keep calling it a subframe, that's probably why I couldn't find anything. I was thinking about just getting the bushings and repainting the part but if it's easier to just get the whole thing, I will do so. It comes with the 3 bushings on it though right?

where?

I keep seeing people needing to replace this thing... think it's time I just buy one now so I don't have to hunt for one later.

edit: found it for just under $344 shipped as my best price so far.

edit 2: and I found a coupon code that nets 10% off. $309.52 shipped price it's saying.

edit 3: ordered one. cheap insurance.

edit 4: oh... some of you might want to know where I ordered it from...

use coupon code 'GON' which will get you another 10% off (at least it did for me as of today)

Ya that was near what I paid. Seemed to be the best.

I dont get it - JBA sells them for $160. What am I missing?

That's a aftermarket cheaper version. Not as good quality and won't last.

Like Czar stated cheaper version
I tried one of them since I was in a pinch waiting on the HD one.
I had it tore up in less than 3 months, I do launch harder than most more than likely but still they have very cheap bushings and ball joints

i'm thinking about pulling one from a wrecked kj and getting a good set of bushing and a heim join and see what I can build for when I need to replace mine again.

I'd like to see what you make of that! Good luck pulling one off though if it was as rusty as mine i destroyed the old one with the BFH getting it off.

Its not for a KJ , more than likely a Grand Cherokee

If interested for something similar,............ hang tight

I'm wondering if that is where my mysterious, occasional clunk in the rear is coming from. :hmm:
