So I drove the wife's Liberty for the first time in weeks and the first bump I hit, it sounds like the wheel is going to fall off. I get out and look, and the strut has ripped out of the upper mount, AGAIN. I have already replaced both the driver and passenger sides once. The passenger side was done about 2 years ago, and I just did the drivers side when I got back from deployment last summer. When I did the drivers side, I noticed that Monroe has changed the original set up, and added a big thick washer for the top nut on the strut to prevent this from happening. I ordered a new mount for the passenger side today, but I have to wait until Monday morning for it to come it. It shouldn't take more then a few hours, but it is still a pain the the a$$.
Apparently this is a very common problem on the Liberty, and when you add a 2" lift and 31's, it compounds a poor design. I just hope the strut isn't damaged. It looked to still be ok, but I'll have to wait until I get it apart.
