@nerdlord20 2 года назад

Just a heads up: @4:06 your front coil perches are completely gone! I just had to replace mine for the same reason, they rust out bc Chrysler sucks at designing drainage points. It is not very safe without them bc the coil can move around as you drive!!! Doorman makes a bolt in replacement, that is what I went with since only the tops rusted out. Your link brackets and lower shock mount areas look fine so it should work for you too. Dorman 926-079 (driver side), Dorman 926-078 (passenger side). Only alternative is to weld new ones on, you can look it up bc this is a very common issue. Great video!

Had to also do the rear only one place sells them for the rear called rustys off road in the south some place. Man I get to replace everything since the spring perch brackets failed.

@wjonthetrail 13 дней назад

WJs are a great off road capable rig And I’m sure by now a few thousand people have told you about how to properly install control arms that have rubber bushings NEVER TIGHTEN THEM DOWN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SETTLED ON ITS OWN WEIGHT if you tighten them down out of position they will start life in a bind that will cause the bushings to prematurely self-destruct By placing them in a neutral position first You then get equal pressure up and down when your vehicle articulates crossing a ditch or climbing over a bump Making them last a long time If how ever you use a Johnny joint type swivel bushing you can tighten them up in any position. It does not matter. The only consideration is if you are using arms that are bent to accommodate your vehicle make sure you put the bins in the proper direction. PS those jam nuts need 125 to 150 foot pounds of torque A big crescent wrench to buy yourself a good 1/2” drive crows foot that fits those jam nuts They can work lose and damage the threads making future adjustments difficult if not impossible Frameless and shameless Is the only way to wheel

@jessewatt5528 2 года назад

I got bad news for you. Unfortunately I just put on 2 sets and well have to do it again. You see you just pulled out the spring. The lower spring perch is totally shot. The only way you can pull the spring out is when you have a jack stand under the body, pull a shock and sway link fasteners off one side, you don't need to take it fully off. Then you can Lower the jack under the axle and it'll go down far enough to pop out the string. I ended up getting the front spring perch brackets off Amazon and it's called rustys in the south only one place that sells them for the rear. But you have to cut them off and weld new ones on. Felt like I was driving a washing machine had to replace all 4 and now I'm going 100% over the whole underside cause it messed everything. Need to get the front inner bushings was gonna swap them out today bit did realize them the last time or two who sells them bushings.

@MrRoundel Год назад

Nice job. I especially liked the weld modification on that XJ bolt. I'm psyching up for this job on my ZJ. It's not an easy decision because I"m probably double your age, so I just don't know if I can take doing the worm on the ground anymore. I have the squirming know-how, but the old body adds challenges. Still, if I do decide to take the plunge to the grunge, and down some prophylactic muscle relaxers, your video will come in handy. Thanks for putting it together and posting it. Good video work, explanation, and sense of humor, Dan. H. Good on ya'. Cheers.

Always enjoy your videos Dan! At 1:25, it would be best for the jack stand to be 90 degree from the direction of the woodgrain on your 2 by 4. Depending on the weight, the wood could split with the right amount of movement. Unless you use stronger wood. I only say this because I've seen blocks of wood split or even explode before. I doubt the Jeep is that heavy, just thought I'd let ya know.

@ProjectDanH 3 года назад

Excellent observation! Your absolutely right! I'll make sure I swap em around next time!

@cbonz7734 Год назад

You are supposed to leave all the bolts loose until done, mount the tires and let the jeep down to fully load the suspension. THEN tighten the bolts. While you got close with the rear upper bolt you tightened the front diff bushing bolt with the suspension drooped. That bushing won't last long and you'll be doing this again soon unless you go out and loosen and retighten those bolts. Also the spring perches were totally rotted away and the springs can actually come off when the axle is fully articulated.

@jamesdewer 2 года назад

If you have one in San Francisco and get your work done in South SF it's almost $1400-1700 . Don't assume the parts to repair the upper and lower control arms, drag links ball joints are readily available. Buy your parts first and show up with the correct ones. I simply don't have time after new motor install, then transmission. When I went to have her aligned a must after you install the control arms and replace everything the frame was bent, so that was an additional $200. A classic situation is cheap parts, no alignment performed or both and parts melting after 8000 miles. These WJ suspensions are a marvel considering they are solid axle! When I think solid front and rear I conjure images of leaf springs. I can see why jeep eventually just migrated to independent front.

@Bulletz4Breakfast13 2 года назад

They wanted $850 just to change a tie rod and two front lower control arms at my local autoshops. Do it yourself, you can rent the presses for putting in ball joints and some expensive tools, some places like Autozone make you pay $100-$200 for deposite to rent and refund you when you return the parts unharmed. They where gonna charge me $600 to change front and rear shocks, got front shocks on but the rear bolts are seized since it's 20 years old and I need replacement bolts since the kits online don't come with rear hardware. But a Sawz-all is far cheaper to rent or buy and cut the bolts off, buy the $20 bolts and save $500 and that's not including cost of shocks. Which I picked up all 4 on sale for $103 shipped (Quality Monroe)

Paul, you should check out these rebuildable axle bushings from Iron Rock Offroad. The inside is rebuildable, so once you press the outside cup in the axle; you never have to mess with pressing anything in again in the future. I have these on my ZJ and I love them. Also, if the bushing gets a little loose; you just tighten it with an allen wrench and you're good. www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/upper-control-arm-flex-joint-8-bolt-10mm-cartridge.html

The bushing at the axle, on a WJ has a 10mm dia. bolt. , and the WJ bushing has a 10mm hole. On an XJ the axle bushing and bolt are 12mm. The only difference in the two bushings is the diameter of the bolt. You can put an XJ bushing in a WJ if you get a new grade 8 (10.9 metric) bolt and lock nut. You may have to use a 29/64th drill bit to slightly enlarge the holes in the control arm. Don't make them too big or the bolt will be sloppy and work loose. DO NOT REUSE THE 10mm BOLT! ( 7/16th will work fine too)

Why the hell doesn't part manufacturers include the needed hardware with the parts? Grinds my gears ⚙️ I have rear Monroe shocks for my 02 Jeep WJ (Laredo 4.7L V8 4x4) just sitting in the back hatch waiting for the correct bolts because the front + rear shock kit didn't include rear bolts and nuts. In case anyone needs Bolts for the Rear shocks on a 94-04 WJ, they are: M12x1.75x80mm top and M12x1.75x70mm bottom Hex Flange Bolt with partial threads. They have to be SAE 8 grade(Standard OEM strength or greater) I ordered Grade 10.9 which is far stronger than OEM. The Nuts have to be Grade 10 at least and M12x1.75 I recommend you get Flanged Nuts and Bolts (Hex head 16mm/18mm wrench) you can get Flanged Nuts with nylon lock gasket to keep them from coming off but I'm just getting regular flange so I can get them off easier if needed. Torque to OEM specs. I recommend using Yellow Zinc Bolts and Nuts instead of Black Oxide because they are more corrosion proof. Look on BelMetric for the high quality automotive fasteners (bolt/nuts/washers) About $2.40 a bolt and $0.56 a nut, BelMetric let's you choose partial thread, coating, length and size of threads, bolt head and tells you socket size. I think the rear upper control arms are M14x1.75x110mm but check specs to make sure, I may be mistaken. People on Jeep forums are very knowledgeable

Inspirational. How many miles on the WJ when you changed the bushings? Thumb up for the video, and I'm really liking your Dewalt XR impact. I need one.

My 1999 WJ 4.0 had the Front Lower Control arms replaced. Now the car has a distinctive, creeeaking noise., which is definitely coming from somewhere in the front suspension. Took it back to mechanic, we rocked it from side to side and the noise was quite loud, but he said it's not coming from the new control arms. Took it to another mechanic, he said it's the Panhard Rod bushes. Replaced them. Creeeaking noise isn't quite as bad, but it's still there. This noise is driving me to distraction...Any clues as to what it could be??? Cheers from Australia.

How does the quality of the MSR arms compare the factory pieces? Does the gauge and grade of the steel seem similar?

@ProjectDanH 2 года назад

Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to compare to new factory pieces. I replaced them because the bushings were completely shot. Its 100% better now. lol

Yes hi Dan I got a question I had bought speakers off of you I don't know if you remember anyway I have a question my fuel filter is it's like hissing is that does that mean that it's a bad fuel filter because when I start up my truck it runs a little rough and then it you know runs a little smooth but then it gets a little rough again and everything that I'm reading it's saying that the fuel filter and mine is actually hissing I would appreciate it if maybe you could let me know if that's normal

@ProjectDanH Год назад

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to hiss but changing a fuel filter is pretty simple.. give it a shot!

Hello Dan H, I am looking for Control arms for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0l. I wanted to know if the Maxspeedingrods control arms have held up after a year or so. I can't just run down to parts house to pick up a set. I can only order them online and would not be able to return them if they are no good. I wanted your opinion after you had them for a while. I was looking at Moog and Mevotech then I saw your video. I am overseas and would appreciate any helpful knowledge you can give.

@ProjectDanH Год назад

They have been pretty good. also you may want to try core4x4 !

I thought my spring cups were rusted when I looked inside and saw the top sitting over a rusty hole where the walls used to be 😂 guess I was worried for nothing.

@ProjectDanH Год назад

HAHA! nothing is better than rust I guess!! haha

@bobert201164 3 года назад

Jeep tj bushings work no problem. No modifications You installed the lowers the wrong way. Bend to the inside or your tires will rub them. Swap out those ate calipers for some akabonos

@ProjectDanH 3 года назад

I know! I can believe I flipped em! 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the heads up!

@howardcrane3647 2 года назад

Are the frame end and axle end upper control arm bushings the same part? Nobody seems to know and I've called 4 wheel drive specialists as well as the auto parts stores.

@ProjectDanH 2 года назад

Yes, I have a link to the bushings in the video description

@howardcrane3647 2 года назад

@@ProjectDanH I'm the guy you talked to on Instagram yesterday. Thank you again for the help.

@Disasterpiece5150 3 года назад

I have ZJ that shakes a 55 or more MPH what could be the issue?

@ProjectDanH 3 года назад

55 is usually tires not balanced

@fahad2984 3 года назад

Excellent work

@ProjectDanH 3 года назад

Many thanks!

@activemanishere Год назад

Why did you change them? They don't really require changing unless bent. You can change the bushings and save money. The only other reason to change them is when a lift requires longer arms. You appear to have changed the arms with the exact same arms?

@ProjectDanH 7 месяцев назад

The arms are cheap enough to replace with out wasting time to do the bushings. Its old" time vs money" paradox.. this project allowed me to just get new arms (even tho I installed them backwards. lol)

@TheNiteNinja19 Год назад

This model doesn't have a steering shock, which is strange. Must be a newer steering system. My 2000 one has a shock.

your steering box could be bad.

@mrsdoylespinniedoyle1956 2 года назад

Re: the broken control arm bolt. Using an impact driver to tighten them is asking for trouble

@ProjectDanH 2 года назад

Installing with an impact isn't bad if you're not cranking on it. of course, hand torquing to spec is best.

@ralphcampisi9696 Год назад

Hi Dan, overall do you find the original moar parts are way better than aftermarket? Seems the bushing on aftermarket (moon,Mevotch, especially dorman) don’t last as long.

@ProjectDanH 7 месяцев назад

Stick to OEM as much as possible, theyre much better and not made in china!
