xj lower control arm
kirksjeep:
Has this Jeep been wheeled hard? Tie rods are easy to bend and then they hit other stuff, just ask Tim. My recomendation is to get the front end off the ground and supported with jack stands and then turn the wheel from side to side to find the problem.
reptile610:
it hasn't been wheeled hard at all actually, long story short is i bought it from a guy out here in feburary. the air bag light is on, the horn doesn't work, and all the cheaper suspension parts seem to have been replaced. also i noticed that lower control arm bracket was bent. so the only reasonable explanation is that thing was in a wreck.

you put in used shocks right?? did they come back up on theyre own when you had them out or did they stay collapsed??
reptile610:
both sets of the shocks came right back up. the old ones weren't even bad other than the fact that the bushing fell completely out of it.

well then i guess you need some tinker time to find the noise. is it quieter with the replacement shocks??
