    Front track bar bracket hole is distorted

    Flag nut broke while removing OEM front track bar. I tried to get a 15mm wrench in from the drivers side but couldn't get it to bite - bolt & nut kept spinning. I am replacing the track bar with an OEM equivalent (Moog DS1235) so ended up cutting through the old rubber bushing, bolt sleeve, and...

    '03 Wrangler Front End Suspension Parts List

    I am currently in the process of rebuilding the front end on my '04. I initially considered a package like this, however, in my situation the hub assemblies and ball joints did not need replacing.

    If your new spare wheel is the same 5 x 4 1/2" bolt pattern, the spare will bolt right up to the spare tire bracket. However, with a 3.75" backspace, the spare tire won't make contact the rubber snubbers. I recently changed my factory spare wheel to a wheel with 3.62" backspacing, and had just...

    Front axle inner tube—is this a seal?

    Here's what mine looked like when replacing the axle u-joints recently. An old piece of hose that fit into the tubes connected to the shop vac took care of anything in there. Just be careful so as to not push anything into the diff or damage the seals.
