Ted, sorry about your dealings. I had a local stealership I drive by everyday give me the run around on replacing the rear LCA's under warranty....for 2 months they kept telling me they were on back order. I called a buddy at a Jeep dealership 35 miles away, he said they had 20 on the shelf and also said there was like 2000 in the warehouse. Went to him the next week, done in about hour and half.

Saw an Indiana member on another forum board....I think he's stalking me :ROTFL:

I sent a very long email to Chrysler expressing my displeasure of their service from one of their dealerships. I doubt they'll do anything constructive but I did mention that if the problem isn't my axles I'll be seeking legal counsel. Hopefully that gets the other components covered if they're bad. This may be my last Chrysler product that I but new. I even contacted jeepcares over on jeep forum, waste of time. If they offered to buy my jeep back right now I'd probably do it. Isn't it against the law to void a warranty on a transfer case or transmission because I changed the suspension? I understand they don't have to cover the drive shaft and the cv joints but nothing else was effected. :banghead:

NEVER but from Fred Martin in Barberton, Ohio, you will be sorry if you do, eventually.

Went through the ringer with the dealer when I bought mine also. Got really upset but kept my head and contacted Chrysler cares direct which was the only way to get anything done. Every dealer I went to was useless, they all did not want to do a darn thing even when I pointed out their stupidity to them. A ton of parts later, I now and still have the noise along with torn underbody insulation. MOST dealers are useless and become VERY dumb when something is under warranty, when you have to pay out of your pocket is when they become very smart and can figure out what's going on...........some times :banghead:

What ended up happening at Klaben? Did they help at all?

Even though I used to work in dealerships I still hate to go into one, seems like it always ends up going a different direction than what you planned !
I got my lower control arms through a dealer south of me, through a friend of a friend, so never had to go into a dealership to get them thank goodness.
Hope you get it all worked out Ted and they do something positive for you.
I mean come on you're suppose to mod your Jeep !!! :JEEPIN:

Ted15 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 10:27 pm

Klaben did nuthin. I paid a stinky poo load to have my tires load balanced and that made a huge difference in the ride but just as I suspected, the problem is still there. They kept saying "those tires" as though I ruined it with tires two sizes bigger. They wouldn't even pull the cv shaft to look and see if I was right. I contacted Chrysler again and this time I told them that if the problem isn't the axle I'll be seeking legal counsel and that I didn't think it was legal to void the entire power train bacause I changed the suspension.
I know what went on at klaben, they didn't sell it to me so they want to make a point. I've heard them talk in the past about people who bought vehicles from fred Martin and had problems so they went there. They said something like they were tired if people expecting warranty coverage when they didn't buy it there. F M will only look at it again if I put it back to stock specs. They used to sell the daystar lift installed as an accessory years ago. I wonder if they voided the warranty with that crappy lift. I'm not a very happy camper right now. I have the intermediate shaft on order along with a new bushing and seal. I don't have the four hundred or so dollars for the cv shaft so I'll get one from advanced for $65 and probably rebuild mine.
Where does marlon cut the cv shaft for the four inch lift?

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Apr 11, 2013 11:06 pm

I would NEVER buy a CV from Advanced they can't get the KJ ones right so I highly doubt they can get the KKs right
Its the inner lip that gets trimmed off takes a heck of a machine to trim it.
You're not nearly high enough for that to be an issue I wouldn't think

Have you just pulled everything out ( CVs and Intermediate shaft ) and drive it to see what it does?
why not buy remanned from NAPA they work great on the KJs
CV Driveshaft - Right Front - Remfd
Part Number: NMD 958604
Product Line: NAPA MaxDrive
Add to Compare

$75.99 /ea

Could be an issue like Daryls
he had a vibration for a long time until I found his left front CV bent, replaced it and he's doing great

Advanced or autozone? I don't shop autozone, too much garbage. NAPA will do though, there are a couple of them around me too.

NAPA never did me wrong and wayyyyyyyyy back when I used to use several for parts when I was in the auto game up in MI.
Advanced, Autozone and O'Crap ad slogan goes something like "we stock the most complete line of auto care products(in a real quick can't understand voice they slide in the subliminal disclaimer that auto care products really mean waxes, cleaners,handi wipes and things of the such and no to be confused with quality auto parts) and once in a while we may sell you the right part but mostly it's the wrong part but we're never wrong, so forget about us selling you junk" . Atleast that's what I hear when I hear their ads on the air waves. :seuss:

Bob ya ever do any subliminal voice over work? :shock:

Not the first time I've done it. Has to be around the 4th or 5th. And we won't get started on how many times I've locked myself out of my Jeep...

Right after I got my KJ the driver's side CV boot ripped so I headed to the local wax emporium - aka AutoZone - and got a new one. Mind you, this was before I lifted my Jeep. I put it in, real proud of myself, took it for a test drive and barely got around the corner and the steering wheel was shaking from the dang thing being out of whack. Got home, called the local NAPA and ordered a reman, swapped it out and life has been good ever since. When I lifted the Jeep I replaced the intermediate shaft and passenger side CV (remanned from NAPA) and the Libby is smooth as butta :SOMBRERO:

Ted, sorry about the reaction from the guys at Klaben. If a TJ or KJ owner pulled in their lifted Jeep I seriously doubt there would be the same "sorry you lifted it so we can't help you" crap. Seems Jeep dealers don't know how to handle a lifted Liberty. I'm willing to make a call if you want me to.

Marlon, all four of us in my family carry extra keys for the house and our cars in our wallet. We've done the same thing umpteen times! :banghead:
