So, I was doin a little work on the liberty this weekend since I am only workin one job now and had TWO whole days off
... I figured since I am so frustrated with my vehicle I would write a list of all the issues I am having with the libby and what I have been doing to try to get a handle on things.
I guess I have been having soo many problems that I am trying to deal with the major problems first. I have recently had to change out my rack & pinion. I am not sure how that started leaking but I have had many P/S issues with the pump and reservoir. I am on my 3rd remanned pump from Advance Auto Parts right now. The first one, I bought and swapped the pulley over to the new pump only to find that it was missing the attachment where the p/s line screws onto the pump. I swapped the pulley to another remanned pump, put it on and after a couple months, it started making the wworse growling on a cold morning start up. After driving the vehicle home I noticed it started leaking thru the pinion seal on the rack. Thus i had to change the pump again as well as I swapped out the rack. Since swapping the rack for TJKJ's olde rack and another remanned P/S pump. I am noticing leaking coming from the P/S pump, probably where the seal is on the rear of the res. I determined that it is definently not from the o-ring or any of the lines leading from it to the rack. Also, the passenger side boot on the rack is saturated with fluid and cannot be sure if it is the rack of the leak from the pump??? On top of the P/S issues, I have been puttiing off rewiring my Bank 1, Sensor 2 oxygen sensor that was mangled when the wires were torn out after it was wrapped around my driveshaft. Seemed as though the pushclip that kept it out of the way had busted. So, I broke the cardinal rule and finally broke down and took it to the shop that I trusted to do my alignment(since they took good care of my alligning issues). Got it all soldered back together and zip tied out the way, so i thought. Then one day later(today) was driving don the road and Blink, the check engine light is on again. I will scope that issue out tomorrow, so that one is undetermined so far. Also, as if that aint enough, my passenger side hub seems to be roaring at me and I dont really know how to be sure its the wheel bearing or the cv going out?? I been told the cv will make the same sound while beginning to go out. Hasnt been really cold lately, so not exact on what is happening with the noise I was having while starting the vehicle on 20degree morns?? I was having a really bad problem with the passenger side sontrol arm bushings squeeking while going the speed bumps all around my house, but I seemed to have cured that with a little spray lube/grease. Its some pretty awesome stuff made by Zep, it sprays liquidy
then kinda thickens to the consistancy of axle grease. I will post the actual name of the product lateer... I love the stuff, really worked good for greasing the hinges on the doors and all.
So, I that is all the issues I am having at this immediate moment that arent the typicalbrake jobs, oil changes etc. that I have coming up around the corner. Oh, I did get my windows tinted but hadnt had a moment to post my new pics. Hopefully I can get to that tomorrow before the work week starts again...
So, if you read all the way thru this post, I must thank you for taking the time to listen and I am open to suggestions. Like I said, everything has helped and I always love to share my knowledge with others with issues
