    Front Lower Control Arms

    The ball joint in my right front lower control arm came apart this afternoon. No warning or noises. Waspulling out of a buds driveway and the stud pulled out and went with the hub. Leftovers are on the ground. I’ve changed the before but not in this situation. Does anybody custom build lower...

    Tailgate strut mount came unglued

    The mount for the gas strut on my tailgate glass fell off. How in the world can this be glued back on ? I just opened the tailgate one day and bam, the passenger side mount for the strut to the glass fell off. Anybody had this problem before ? There is a door gasket on the body that the glass...

    02 Sport with 2.5” front & 2” rear lift W 245/75/16 Duractracs

    yes. They came black. I wanted to liven it up a little down under. In that picture I had not gone back and removed the greasy kid marks from the install !

    16x7" on stock suspension

    I have an 02 Liberty Sport with 2.5” lift on the front with Rocky Upper Control arms and a 2” lift in the rear running Iron Rock upper and lower adjustable control arms, all with the upgraded joints. I am running the stock aluminum 5 spoke wheels with 245/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs. I had...

    Rear upper control arm replacement

    I got mine with the upgraded joints. A little more road noice transmits due to no rubber in the mounts anymore, but a small trade off for the handling and range of motion

    Rear upper control arm replacement

    I put the Iron Rock adjustable rear upper and adjustable rear lower control arms about 2 weeks ago. I ordered it with the upgraded flex joints too. Easy install except removing that bracket on the rear axle housing that the old ball joint set up used. After cleaning up threads in the axle...

    02 Sport with 2.5” front & 2” rear lift W 245/75/16 Duractracs

    Thanks. That picture was in Western NC over the 4th of July weekend. I had just installed the Iron Rock Off Road rear upper adjustable control arm and the adjustable lower rear arms too. Huge difference ! I even towed my old 6X4 JD Gator back to my house. I put the Liberty through its paces on...

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    The 4-wheel alignment was done this morning and they did have to adjust the pinion angle. We were 1/2 turn on the upper link too far out and the pinion angle was barely out of adjustment with it being a hair high. The alignment tech unbolted the link, turned it back in the half turn, re-attached...

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    All is well with the new rear suspension! Drives really tight, firm. It is louder inside the cabin but I’m getting used to it. The increased road noise made me wonder if it was transmitting through the flex-joints. I talked with a tech at Iron Rock about the increased road noise and to see my...

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    We installed the rear upper and lower adjustable control arms from Iron Rock Offroad today ! Took 3 hrs to swap it out. Probably lost an hour on the center bolt holding the stock ball joint connector to the rear axle housing. The blue thread lock boogered up the threads on the housing while...

    2002 jeep liberty sport

    I have an 02 Liberty Sport 4X4 and before lifting it, the biggest size I could get on it was a Goodyear 235/70/15. Since I lifted the front 2.5" and the rear 2" I now have 245/75/15 Goodyear Duratracs and love them. I ran 3 sets of the Walmart Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires and they were very...

    Rear upper control arm...

    I replaced the original upper arm with a NAPA high $ too. That was last Nov and it’s already bad. I ordered a complete rear setup from Iron Mtn and it arrived today. Going to install Saturday!!

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    well the new rear suspension came today by Iron Mtn ! Upper arm with upgraded joints and bracket, lower adjustable control arms with the upgraded joint. Going to take it to our shop at work and do the install. What’s going to be the best way to get the new arms the same length as the stock ones...

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    JBA and several others told me they were discontinued. Not even a returned one still laying around anywhere and I doubt you’d find one in a salvage yard.

    02 Liberty Sport 3.7 V5 upper rear control arm

    Well I have ordered the rear upper control arm from Iron Rock Offroad ! I went ahead and ordered it with the upgraded bushings that are very similar to a Johnny Joint. Another great feature is the link that holds the fastener to the rear end housing is adjustable so you can correct the angle of...
