Install DT ball joints today. Got the ball joints and knuckle installed. Both upper and lower castle nuts are torqued to DT spec. The cotter pin holes line up. But I wasn't expecting such gaps between the knuckle and axle C. Take a look at Pic. Are those gaps normal? Also the snap ring...

In early November I had a MC 3.5 GC lift. At that point I had 42k miles on my stock Rubi suspension. I had 35s since day one and in all those miles I never had a hint of shimmy, DW, or any sort of steering issues. Imediately after getting my Jeep back I started noticing steering issues. The...

I have 2021 JLUR with a MC GC 3.5" lift, my net height increase is between 4.5" and 5". I also opted for the new front drive shaft. When I first got the lift back in November the steering was pretty flightly especially on uneven pavement. I would hit an uneven section in the road and it would...

I've been battling a steering shimmy and occasional DW since I got a lift installed in November. A few weeks ago I corrected my castor, and when done with that I loosened and retorqued all suspension bolts. A couple weeks ago I was going through my tools and my 24mm wrench was gone. I knew I...

So I'm installing a Yeti Drrag Link and Tie Rod today. Everything came apart super easy except the drag link pitman arm connection. I had a bitch of a time getting that apart. I tried everything to get the DL off. I ended up taking the DL apart thinking it might help if i could rotate the...

UPDATE AS OF 4/4: My Shimmy/DW are now solved. Ball Joints did the trick. Full update posted on page 2. UPDATE AS OF 3/23: Turns out my shimmy/DW was not solved. It was a lot better for about a week and then came back. Retorquing everything didn't fix it once it was back. Further update...

I have a a couple questions about the DSC adjusters. The instructions say to turn the knobs counter clockwise all the way until they stop. Then 3 clicks clockwise is the softest setting for both high and low speed adjusters. But if you look at the diagram it's really just 2 clicks clockwise...

TL/DR... skip down to my questions on adjusting castor. I've been getting a lot of shimmy in the steering wheel when hitting small to medium cracks or extended sections of unevenness in the road. In certain condtions it will go to full on death wobble and I have to slow considerably to get it...

I have a dealer appt coming up next week. I have the dreaded 3.6 lifter/follower/cam tick. I'm bringing it in for them to check it out. I had it in for an oil change a couple weeks back. The service advisor gave it a listen and he said I should bring it in so I am. Previously when taking it...

I was installing shocks today and the front passenger shock gave be a lot of troubles. I had the Jeep up on jack stands on the frame. Both tires were off and the suspension was allowed to droop. On the passenger side, at full droop the lower end of the shock was about 2" lower than the MC...

I installed new shocks today and when I was done I noticed this fairly sizeable glob of green grease on the floor. It is directly below the front drive shaft U joint. Judging by where it was it looked like it came out of the CV joint in the drive shaft. The drive shaft came with my MC GC...

I have a 2021 JLUR. Bought it brand new, now has 40k miles. Also I just had a full MC 3.5 GC lift with all control arms and both track bars installed 2 weeks ago. Until the past couple days I thought Death Wobble was the constant front end shakiness caused by looseness in front end...

I have a 2021 JLUR 3.6 MT. Put in a CFII clutch a year ago. I just had a MC 3.5 GC lift (w front driveshaft) and 4.88 regear, got it back yesterday. When it's been stopped and idling for a bit it doesn't want to go into 1st gear very easily. Moving it back and forth in neutral and/or...

I'm going into a local shop this week to get on the schedule for a lift (MC Game Changer). I'm trying to decide between a 3.5 inch lift and moving up to 37s or a 2.5 inch lift and sticking with 35s. I know that 37s will require a regear and will go to 4:88s if I go that route. This is for my...

Looks like the BLM finally released their final decision on trail closures. Let the litigation begin, or continue depending on how you look at it. Not looking to good. Hopefully the plan is blocked during the appeal process. Here's a couple stories...

Looking to pull the trigger soon on MC 3.5 Game Changer Lift w RockSports and front drive shaft. What am I looking at for install cost? I just want to have an idea before I go into a shop.

I'm about to lift my JLUR. I'm going with the MC GameChanger, probably 3.5. Long term I want to go with Fox 2.5 DSC shocks, but I don't want to blow my budget. So I'm trying to figure out a decent shock until I'm ready to pull the trigger on the DSCs. For those with experience how do the MC...

There are probably many posts that cover my question, but father-in-law passed away this morning so I don't have a lot of time to research. I have a 2021 JLUR 3.6L 6MT with 20k miles. I'm aware of the issues with the factory clutch, but up until this weekend it has held up very well including...

I've had my Jeep 11 months today. I went over 20,000 miles today. I have had zero problems to date, until today. After a day of fun, my clutch appears to have issues, and it won't even turn over. Sorry for the long post, but I assume something I did today is causing, or at least contributing...

Is it normal while in 4WD, hi or lo, for the rear tire to hop or spin when turning a circle with the steering wheel at full lock? In mid July I was in Moab for a week and ran several trails without issue. On our last day we ran Poison Spider. At the very end while we were coming down it felt...
