    03 Sahara: Shake coming from rear after hitting road bumps at speed (i.e. railroad tracks)

    Ok so my track bar replacement fixed my wobble and cured my couple bouts of DW but I have a wobble or shake coming from the rear of the jeep after hitting bumps at speed. Nothing is felt in the steering wheel and the front end feels solid. Its a noisy wobble from the rear I am convinced. After...

    Any advantages or disadvantages of going with a two-piece front track bar busing compared to a one-piece?

    I would love to upgrade but with bills and other priorities it is not in the budget at this time. I have a decent wobble in my steering when hitting bumps that can be exacerbated by steering wheel input, and I think I have it narrowed down to play in the track bar bushing. There is probably...

    42RLE upgrades and other ways to improve the transmission
