Vibration between 40-55, worst at 50, started 2 months ago
I don't know anything related to AT control, but If it vibrates without sound, Something heavy must be eccentric. If there are no loose parts, Is something stuck between the wheel and the hub? Have you replaced the lug nuts with shorter ones? Is the rear lower arm bushing damaged and the...- ikuo78

What did you do to your jeep today?
I forgot to close the coolant cap a few months ago. I ended up getting the hood liner covered in coolant. I closed the cap after a few days, but I couldn't get the smell off. I washed it yesterday and the smell went away.- ikuo78

Gas mileage
If you change the tires from 29 inches to 31 inches, When cruising at 100 km/h, the motor speed will drop by about 100 rpm. If there are fewer slopes, This will effectively improve fuel efficiency. It's a good idea to use GPS to accurately measure the impact. Odometers only measure the number...- ikuo78

Yet another Engine Swap
It seems that there are not many cases of swapping to 4.7. Is this a successful example of 4.7? https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/v8-liberty.36947/ I'd like to see it, but many posts here say it's difficult. The car is the same model year as mine. Let's do our best to maintain it.- ikuo78

2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots
Thank you. The important thing is that the lower arm is removed in fig10. This may be necessary if the driver's side end seal or shaft seal is broken. However, I am looking into the possibility of replacing the end seal on the passenger side without taking the rack assembly out of the car. The...- ikuo78

2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots
thank you. Close but slightly different? The nut has threads on the outside, It is installed about 15mm deep into the housing, so It seems that I can somehow turn it by processing a bicycle wrench. Can I remove the inner tie rod with pipe pliers? It looked like there was no flat surface to...- ikuo78

2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots
The end seal on the passenger side is fixed with a back plate (nut) that is turned using a special two-jaw tool. The inner diameter of the housing cannot be measured without removing the back plate, so it seems possible to replace it by purchasing several types of oil seals. I also need a tool...- ikuo78

Upper control arm alternatives
Diverting KK's upper arm to KJ. There was a post about someone doing this in the past, I haven't seen anyone post that it's completed. I thought it was a pretty interesting modification, I wonder what happened.- ikuo78

Grease fittings for lower ball joint
I also bought it from a Japanese importer. It was the one in the photo on the right. Even though only 4WD is sold in Japan. Moreover, the internal ball is not returning properly and is spewing out grease. With the lower arm lifted and the load removed, I flipped up the boot and pushed in the...- ikuo78

Thank you for your quick reply. I missed the most obvious thing. Since it is multiple choice, it seems that the two are not the same.- ikuo78

Upper control arm alternatives
If the arm doesn't sell ball joints like a faucet sells water, it's user-friendly. It is written on the website that Rocky Road is suitable for 2002-2012. https://rocky-road.com/shop/jeep-liberty-control-arms/ KK's arms are asymmetrical. Is Rocky Road also asymmetrical? I am considering the...- ikuo78

Phone Mount Recommendation?
I made it using. A smartphone clamp for a camera tripod that costs about $2, A universal head for a camera tripod that costs about $2. Outrigger-like 3D printed mount, rubber blind nut, It's better to pay a little more for a universal head. It rotates occasionally.- ikuo78

Upper control arm alternatives
What many people are probably concerned about is whether or not the ball joint will break when the leg is fully extended. The JBA arm has a significant geometry in place for that. However, I often see posts saying that when the legs are fully extended, the arms hit the springs. This annoys...- ikuo78

What did you do to your jeep today?
Last week I changed the end eye bushing on the rear shock. 95% of car noise has been reduced. Tapered bush with maximum diameter of 29.6mm, inner diameter of 16mm, and width of 36mm. I used it as a set with a collar with an outer diameter of 16 mm and a width of 40 mm, and I attached it...- ikuo78

I am still using the MOOG that I changed 4 years ago. We don't want to sacrifice anyone. But, I'm thinking of buying one if I need to replace the UCA next time.- ikuo78

2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots
thank you. Looking at the photo of the seal kit, it looks like one of the end seals is simply fixed with a C ring. I'll check to see if it's on the passenger side. I was only looking for third party rack assemblies and not genuine stock. I also try enabling right-hand drive countries in google...- ikuo78

2004 liberty Rebuilding the front end on my moms jeep and found a lot of fluid in tie rod boots
Mine too. Is there space outside the end seal for additional end seals? Or, is it possible to replace only the end seal? without removing the steering rack assembly from the car. I feel like it could be done if I could remove the pinion. There was so much disassembly other than the rack that...- ikuo78
