Any loss of perpetual momentum? We wheeling this weekend?

sandfish88

Im pretty sure Im not gonna be able to go. GOtta save every penny for the 15th.
I might be able to though so dont count me out. Looks like rain which is enticing.


and..

only if I could make the cherokee a perpetual motion device. To be able to continue on and on, forever and ever without loss of energy would be magnificent.



anyways..its a lil more sloppy through the corners, but Its not anything drastically different.

Lifted " red " 2" today. It was a coil spacer. I left the stock coil isolators on. Hope its ok. Couldnt get the passengers side track bar bolt off. Got the nut off the bolt, but the f&#%&#%&* bolt was stuck on the track bar bushing spacer or some crap. Yep not even with a half can of PB, A really big F#*#%*# hammer, air chisel/pickle fork, nothing. and , so I took the upper off instead Didnt use a spring compressor, but a tie down to compress just a TEENY lil bit. was still scary tho.
pics tomorrow

it rides better. Less sloppy. Better in the corners. DO I need to adjust my alightment? toe in or out? caster?

What did you have to undo the track bar for

mxzx800ho

Pulled my head to replace the gasket. Now waiting for the new head to come in

I couldnt get the axle low enough to get the spacers AND stiffer coils in without unbolting the track bar. it only got me an extra inch, but it helped a lot.


that and soon as I took it off the jackstands the spacer inside the end of the trackbar broke free from its rubber bushing and welded itself onto the spacer. SO it rode like **** and sounded like ****, so I got a new TB and fixed my Death wobble issue

New coil to get it running again. Went with an accel. Can't tell yet if it's better than stock.
