Every time I put it in either 4hi or 4lo there is some loud clunking when shifting from R N D. The sound is only their when Front Diff is engaged. Really Load when turning. Looked underneath front, when shifting through R N D, front diff is definitely got a lot of play. Got underneath and looks like both right and left Front Diff Mounts bushings are done. Checked out the stealership for just bushings, of course they don't sell just the bushings. You can only buy both mounts, Left - $90, Right - $1000. That is not going to happen, so I have been looking for someone who sells just the bushings. Firstly - does anyone know where you can buy the correct bushings? or at least know what the specs are for these bushings? Left Side Mount - Only One Bushing Right Side Mount - Two Bushings Link to photos of both mounts: I need #2 and #4 http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/sho ... bly=537487 |

Sadly no one sells just the bushings. The drivers side mount would be the same for any year of KJ with the 3.7 V6.The passenger side mount is a formed steel unit for '02's and upgraded to a alloy mount in later years,should be able to use the later alloy mount in place of the formed steel one with no issues. If all else fails I have all 3 mounts with good bushings I'd part with for $100 plus shipping,will not seperate the 3,all go or none. |

Dammit!!! I had a feeling that might be the case. Going to check around at the scrappers tomorrow and see what there is, but if all fails I might need to take you up on your offer. Will message you tomorrow either way. Thanks again for the help. |

Be careful at the pick and pulls Lots of them maybe in worse shape than what you have I've seen some with 80-90,000 miles that the diff was ready to fall out where as mine are still in pretty good shape with double that Also grabbed a almost new set 3-4 years ago for spares, knew someday they'd come in handy

Checked them out this morning. Only found one liberty and it was pretty well stripped of everything. Mounts were still on, but the bushings were worse then mine. Anybody know how long these bushings are good for approx? Mine had well over 150,000 miles on them and just only recently went on me. Thanks again for the help. |

Long story short, my lacking mechanical experience almost screwed me. Turns out wasn't even the bushings. After checking out the scrappers and seeing older bushing I was convinced that mine were not warn as bad as I originally had thought. Solid search of the forum lead me to the Cvjoint on the front drive shaft (boot on joint connecting to transfer case) . Ofcourse it had a rip and was dry as a popcorn fart. Took it out the other day, joint didn't have to much wear. Purchased universal boot and made it fit. Shaft went back and no vibration. Lib is back on the road. Pictures to come. |
