I have ordered the borgenson upper intermediate steering shaft and will install this weekend. I think i may as well replace the bearing (where the upper and lower connect) problem is, as with the upper intermediate, i am having trouble locating this part for some reason. Question is where...

So the u joint in the upper steering shaft, I think it is called the upper intermediate, has some play and after the jeep has been driven for a bit there is "popping" sounds coming from the wheel. Narrowed it down to the joint inn the shaft. I have looked and for some reason seem to have...

So got back in the area and took it to Discount tire. Before I confirmed to have the tires balanced, asked if they have balanced 33" tires before and they said yes, no problem. I waited for a bit, the tech came and moved the jeep inside. I asked him to please get it right, gave him some...

good to know i will look into both of those. thanks for your input once again

So if I end up getting tires any thoughts on a decent fair priced 33”? I have had good experience with bf Goodrich but that was 25 yrs ago. I prefer mud terrain type

I don’t have free balance. Any ideas on tire shops? I’m in Chicago. I have all kinds of options. There is a 4 wheel parts about 1/2 hour away. Are they good for tires? I have rotated the bar to the rear and the wobble / vibration still occurs

He said the arm bushings look worn. However, I had NO issues BEFORE I did any work. I checked and rechecked the castle nuts and that everything is tight. He had it up and looked at the work and said it was tight. I brought the Jeep to Costco and they balanced the ties. I know they are worn...

I should say no death wobble was found also

jeep has a wobble at 45-65 or so. Don’t drive much faster than that. Posted earlier on here and most opinions are the tires. Brought it to 4 x 4 shop and was told the tires are uneven wear and featherd. Also the control arms could be replaced. Basically the question is simple: have enough...

I'll call around and see if i can get a good tire shop to balance them. I'm thinking at costco they could not do it right, they may not have the machine? or maybe the experience? they were apprehensive in doing it as it was.... thanks for the quick replay too

Hi all I've read through some of the threads here and online before posting this. It seems this is common. I have been having a wobble, not sure if it's full on death wobble as i'm not all over the road or very violent shaking going on. But it is a wobble, can feel the tub shake and the...

I appreciate all the advice. I ended up going with the JKS quicker disconnect. Also needed a track bar and have the Teraflex adjustable on the way. My decisions are based on the future need for a full set of control arms. As much as I would like to spend on the Anti Rock and high end track...

So, as far as the setting go on the anti rock, is the stiffest still “soft”? And how easy is it to adjust back and forth between “soft” and “firm”? Good discussion on this so far with a lot of good imput. Thanks much

Decisions...man it's tough. I also am thinking a new track bar is needed. Budget is tight though. I am going to sleep on it and think about it some more. I like the JKS quick disco thats adjustable. I also like the Currie but have read online some folks that say it has too much give for the...

Thanks for the input. I’m leaning toward the Currie
