If you are like me, you spend most of your time exploring and/or wheeling your Jeep in some random or remote terrain, only to come home and begin hearing new squeaks and creeks from your Jeep. For the longest time, I just bought into the theory of "it's just a jeep and that's what they do". At times, my Jeep was so squeaky, my daughter was embarrassed when I dropped her off at the roundabout for school. It sounded like I had just gotten married and pulling tin cans down the road.
During a recent off roading charity event by The Georgia Jeep Alliance, I stopped at the JK Land booth and spoke with a gentleman name Rob. Rob told me about their 50 Bolt Torque Test they do on the suspension. I had never done this before and thought it would be a good time to ease my mind on some things under the rig.
I spent the day at JK Land, torquing every nut and bolt on the suspension and finding several that had loosed up over time. Nothing "dangerously loose" but enough to cause a whole lot of racket.
After Micheal torqued everything down, my Jeep suspension is the quietest it has ever been and not to mention, my steering has tightened up as well, taking a lot of the "sloop" out of the wheel.
I would encourage EVERYONE, whether you have a lifted suspension or stock suspension to do this torque test on their rig periodically. I plan on having this check done at least once a year by JK Land.
