Jeep won’t reverse?? STUCK!!

[jlandry287]

So I had some issues this past weekend, the draglink broke off inside the pitman arm. I bought a new pitman arm to replace. replaced drag link and tie rod with steer smarts components. Also put RCVs in the front, and Reid racing knuckles.

Had jeep aligned afterwards.

today we made an 8 hour roadtrip to pick up a camper, then drove another 2 hours to our campsite (in BFE).

when we got to the campsite, the jeep won’t reverse. The engine revs, but it feels like the brakes are applied.

a clicking noise can be heard coming from the front passenger wheel.

luckily I have a lot of my tools. What should I look at/where to begin??

UPDATE: I figured out the issue. Some idiot forgot to tighten the caliper bolts down, so one of the bolts fell out. When I would try to reverse, the caliper would hang up inside the wheel. Luckily I brought a few spare bolts, and have one that’ll get us to an auto parts store.

does anybody know what size/thread bolt secures the caliper to the knuckle?
