    Hi, Bushes were cheap from Morris 4x4 and a couple of hours per side max. Maybe it cost me NZ$350 (about US$300). I have the upper arm bushes in a box ready to go too!!

    Rear diff addative

    Hi, Does the dealer not have it in small bottles (30ml-60ml)? They all do here and it's about NZ$20 for 30ml. I think it has to be the Mopar stuff as it is their Tracloc diff!! Oliver

    alingment

    Hi, I have a similar issue with my '02 Ltd but it doesn't pull under braking. I have ordered all lower A arm bushes as I suspect they are more worn than they look. My allignment is spot on and I get a little 'tracking' on raised ridges of roading etc so I'm picking a soft bush or two. My KJ...

    Suspension (steering issues)

    Howdy, Well, the tyres are Cooper ATRs and they are 1/3 worn. The alignment is set for .2deg toe which according the FSM is bang on. Caster is just under the 1/2 deg different (with left slightly foward - we are RHD). Tie rod ends are one option yes. Might climb under and get someone to...

    Suspension (steering issues)

    Hi all, Have had for a little while a case of my steering 'tracking' over changes in road seal etc. The shocks (until yesterday) were original. Now, the front feels a little firmer but still have a slight knock and some left hand drift is still evident.:wtf2: I have had a wheel alignment done...

    '02 KJ Fuel pump

    '02 KJ Fuel pump

    Howdy, Yep, sure does seem odd but not unheard of. Like I said, the dealer here has done one and there a couple of guys in Australia that have done them. But if you think of all the KJs out in the world there will be some failures from some things. Nobody has done a transmission here but...

    '02 KJ Fuel pump

    Hi, It has 84000km - 50000 ish miles. Not an uncommon problem as the dealer near me has done one other but far from an epidemic too. A friend of mine did a fuel pump in his Freelander at about 70000 miles. :freak3: Oh well.......:shrug: Oliver
