    Rear brakes getting hot after new pads and rotor

    Hi all, just replaced my TJs rear disc brakes with new pads and rotors and I noticed even after break in I’m getting the burnt brake smell. After driving I checked caliper temperatures and they were both around 390F whereas the fronts were at 110F. I’m guessing that for some reason there is...

    Yukon Ball Joints Lower Zerk

    Hi all, Picture attached but due to a shortage of spicer 709644x ball joints, went with the Yukon ones, but to my surprise the lower joint had a Zerk fitting…in a test fit with just sliding the axle in, it looks like it either just barely clears or just barely hits, so my question is do I...

    Unit bearing replacement with 16 inch big brake kit

    Hi all, don’t believe all parts of this have been discussed, but redirect if I missed something in my search. Took jeep in for alignment with Firestone and they suggested new unit bearings…which is very early. Took it home, raised it and tested, and a lot of play in the drivers side but none...

    Anyone know a belly-up kit that would work with an Atlas 4-speed?

    Hi all, I'm praying someone can answer my questions...but first and foremost, I have done the precursory checks, and the collar on the drag link is tight, there isn't any play I've seen in the track bar or tie rod ends (although going to relook), with that said, here's the rest of the story...
