Parked it inside the garage


NWS is forecasting hail today/tonight so we put the little car up in the garage at the vacant neighbor place, and put the jeep inside our garage. The pickups & burban will have to fend for themselves.

 

For the past 4-5 months I have had a serious clunk in the front end every time I hit a bump.

I have checked almost everything. Tie Rods, Pitman arm, stabilizer etc. Saturday while crawling around underneath I noticed that the Rubber Bushings on the lower end of the front shocks were completely out of the shock.

Tonight, I pulled the shocks and pushed the rubber bushing back inside the shock mount. Put them back in and drove home.

No more Clunk.

Seems like that should not be able to happen but it did.

worked on the peices for my wj swap

 

Worked on my used RE 3.5" leafs that I got for $100. Guy said they needed new bushings because 3 bolts were siezed to the bushing sleeves. I got all 3 bolts out within an hour by using a drill, a punch, and a hammer.

 

WJ swap you say... what are you swapping?

 

He's swapping his xj for a WJ.

 

 

yea right!

knuckles/brakes/steering

 

installed a re 3.5" lift.

 

drove it up a hill, played in a mud puddle, then drove it back down the hill.

 

wire wheeled and pained my wj steering
cleened up the wj knuckles
cleened up a akebono caliper and mounting bracket
went to the junkyard and grabbed a set of 95 abs axle shafts so swap in some 760s so i dont have to do it when im doing the wj knuckle swap since i have to change the inner seal while i have it a part as well

 

got my alignment done. so much nicer having the steering wheel straight..

 

Just finished putting on a new backbox and Cat. If you shook the cat it sounded like two bricks in an oil drum!!

Now fixed, no rattles. Awesome

 

Mine has been crooked since my Durango box swap. Couldnt get the drag link to adjust to save my life

 

Did you loosen the collars and grab the link with vice grips?
