I can’t imagine how the airbag issue would affect the behavior of your steering wheel. I’ve never messed with the steering wheel internals but I would suspect that something is too tight on the steering wheel or shaft and causing resistance. No clue on the airbag light. Electrical issues are a...

The linkage inside the door may be disconnected. Unscrew the door card and gently pop it off to inspect the inside. It should be evident if the linkage is disconnected, but if you can’t figure it out, post a picture with the door card removed and we can try to help solve the issue. @Chris you...

This is off-topic but I’m curious - what are those contraptions you have bolted between the corner of the tub and the fender? Some sort of tree/rock protection?

Have someone turn the wheel back and forth with the engine on (so that power steering is running) while you watch and feel the steering connections to identify exactly what is loose and go from there.

I wouldn’t recommend taking them off anywhere around passenger/driver’s head. Whether it be off-road bumps or an on-road serious accident or rollover, you’ll want the padding there. Also, if you have a frameless soft top, it won’t fit quite right without the padding. For future info, bar soap or...

Interested! Sending PM.

Don’t think so. They would have to be really small and it would take a lot of torque to unthread. The fact that something like this exists makes me feel slightly less alone in my stupidity. I think I’ll try breaking it up with a burr or using the a tap extractor. Thanks guys!

Decided to convert my front TW driveshaft from boot type to greasable type. Everything was going dandy until the thread tap broke off in the driveshaft. Any ideas on the best way to fix this without having to drill a new hole in the shaft and keeping the threads I already cut? The size is 1/4-28

This your jeep by chance? /s

This is the nature of a 5-link (4-link with trackbar) suspension. As for the shock brackets, the previous owner probably installed them at that angle to compensate for a heavily rolled-back pinion angle, as is required with a tall lift, raised transfer case output, and short driveshaft...

I would check the headlight grounds. Funky things can happen when they don’t have a good electrical connection.

My dad and I hit Barnwell Mountain last weekend and had a blast. He was in his Tacoma with a small lift, 32's, rock rails, and high-clearance bumpers, so we stuck to the 2's and 3's for most of the day, which was about as much as his setup could handle. It was awfully hot, but we wheeled from...

The NV3550 in my TJ developed a terrible sound recently. It started as a slight squeaky chattering under acceleration at highway speeds about a week ago. It has progressed to a dry, low rumble with the same chattering squeaks. The sound only happens under load, accelerating or engine braking...

I'm on a mission to fix my tip and fold passenger seat. The original bushings are long gone, as well as the 3D-printed overpriced Etsy junk I tried in desperation. My plan is to find a metal spacer with the right ID and OD or get one made if it doesn't exist. I need the dimensions of the bolt...

I want to run these aftermarket turn signals on my TJ. I have MCE fenders, and I do not want to do the grille relocation or use the go-to tiny 3/4" indicators. I've found some 12 volt, 3-wire LED turn signals meant for motorcycles that I think would make a clean install under the front lip of...

Is anyone planning to be at SMORR for Memorial day weekend? I'll taking a side trip from a Branson vacation to visit the ranch on the 28th and 29th. I don't want to show up and wheel alone, so I figured I'd reach out and see if I could find some like-minded TJ folks to wheel with. I'm in a...

Riddle me this. What could be making a metal-on-metal mild scraping sound for a brief moment while accelerating or engine braking through a small section of RPM between 2300 and 3000 RPM? Sometimes two different spots in that RPM range. It is not tied to a specific gear, just a specific RPM. I...

Take a look at this picture of my brake pads. One pad is worn more than the other, and both are worn unevenly from top to bottom. Can you diagnose what has caused this? P.S. yes, I am replacing them very soon. I would like the new ones to wear properly, though.
