Oh totally. If everything scheduled happens this week, will have it done next week. I just didn't want to pay for two alignments back-to-back.

Yes. Though if you get out a tape measure and measure the lengths of the old rods, you can set the new ones up to be very close, enough that you can drive a little bit on it. I've not gotten mine aligned yet, as I am getting the front upper/lower control arms replaced next week and you need to...

Just want to add that I found https://jeepbolts.com and they have ready made kits for control arms and everything else it appears. I got a kit for front uppers and lowers for $62, including the cam bolts. Wasn't cheap, but not crazy like the guy that got quoted $40/bolt from the dealer. After...

I am searching for the CK versions now that I stumbled upon this (after just purchasing the RK ones) and I can't find them anywhere. I think they stopped making them, they don't even list them at moogparts.com, only the RK ones.

I spent an hour or so last evening searching the forum here and Google about this. From my searching it seems that both the front bushing in the axle, and the rear bushing in the arm, are interchangeable. Yet Moog has two separate part numbers, K3128 and K3166. Rockauto says K3128 is for the...

I found this marketing page on the coating at Moog's website - https://www.moogparts.com/en-eu/support/the-problem-solver/product-improvements/cataphoresis-coating.html. They say it's better than paint. Is that BS? I don't live in the rust belt. I know how bad these jeeps rust from when I was a...

@Zorba I took pictures of my Moog parts today. Is this what yours looked like? There's definitely this grey coating on mine. Not paint (like the clamps). I am like 10mi inland from the coast. I don't think the salt air makes it this far. 🤞

I did not. I'm hoping that being in Los Angeles, I don't have to worry about rust. At least, short term. I might get back under it and just paint in place. Edit - is this BS ? They didn't look bare metal to me. They were a gray color, didn't look like bare metal to me. Though it didn't look...

So, I did this today. Notes for future noobs that have never done this before: 1. Take all your Moog parts and thread them all together first before you start (unless you can leave your Jeep down for days). They should all thread by hand without issue. I ended up getting a Moog ES2079S with bad...

I have not used the laser attachment for the H2C but over on the unofficial bambu discord, the consensus is that it's not worth the money, that the laser isn't powerful enough to do anything of value.

hey @dearchristopher I looked and saw none of my stuff from this thread's on the site. How can we/I upload?

I appreciate all of this. Def will have new hoses, was going to replace those no matter what since they're original. Heard about busting the nipple. Makes sense, maybe I can just get a knife in there and slice it off. Will look tomorrow when it's light out. And I just printed out the service...

Got the 1/2" torque wrench and I've also got an electric impact for the pitman pull. Was gonna rent the puller from Autozone b/c it's just closer. Got a BFH too and a line wrench set. Hopefully I've got 17mm b/c the set doesn't have a 18mm though. Curious if you found a torque spec for the...

Oh yeah def not worried about corrosion. It's never left Southern California so no rust, and the pitman is currently soaking in power steering fluid so should be nice and lubed lol. Ok this is giving me the confidence I can pull this off. It'd be no question at all if I had a place to stash it...

So, my steering box is leaking, needs replaced. While it's apart, going to replace the lines going to the pump as well because they're pushing 30 years old. I have a mechanic I finally trust, but he quoted me 6-7 hours of labor to do the job. I watched this YouTube video and I am sure this is...
