It's also early am,and I need to swap some wheel's around on 2 different jeeps.Replace the sway bar bushings and the swaybar link bushing's,(oversight on PO).Hope I can get this done before it really gets hot out there! Next payday I'll do the control arm bushings.

The temps have averaged about 104-109 on my back porch for the last week.Suck's to be a mailman this time of year.

 

Good luck.

Although this is more chat than OEM tech haha

 

And you question is???
Wrong section!

 

The wheel swap failed,the 31's won't go on the dj,lack of clearance.I still want the 235's on the cherokee,have 14's for the dj.

After replacing the bushing's,(31's still on cherokee),I have developed a light clunk when turning the wheels left and right.Sounds like it might be in the track bar ends.

Now we have a question!

Opinions--input?

Would replacing bushings,there is no lift involved,along with the 31's cause a kink of sorts?

 

What bushings? And no, probably not. That's more of a ball joint issue.

 

swaybar and swaybar link.The so.und wasn't there before the bushings

 

Well is the pop/clunk still there with the 235s?

Yes --> then its the bushings

No --> then there's another problem and we need more details on the sound where it does it, when it does it, which way are you going, etc

 

Yes it is still there with the 235's,but this time only when I turn the wheels to the left.I had some one else turn the wheels while I was under the jeep,it sounds and feels like the left side trackbar end.

 

Then it's just your track bar ends mine used to slide some and pop like that.

 

Yep,found it for sure,track bar end.Replace both,or can I get away with just one?

 

I have to replace the whole bar,don't I?

 

You should be able to just replace on the one end

You can you can get a better one with bushing both ends that what I did.

 

From what I have read,this ain't an easy job.How critical is the replacement?

 

I really wouldnt worry about it too much, I mean I wouldnt leave it forever...but i dont know, someone whos more experienced in that matter can chime in

 

Thanks Zack for hanging in there with me.I think what I will have to do is wait a week or so (finances) and do it.I just don't like the noise.Maybe add some grease to the cup,and check the nuts and bolts for tightness on everything else.Thanks again bro.
