Re: A girlie Liberty question....................
 

I agree with Mark, get your brakes looked at.

As a test, try using the brakes when you have the trouble, and see if the
trouble changes, or use thebrakes when you don't have the trouble and see if
you can get it to start.

You have to figure out when the trouble comes on, then figure out a way to
cause it, then you can demonstrate it for the mechanic. It is especially
helpful if the trouble is noticable by the passenger, then you can ride
along and give instructions on how to cause it, and verify that your
instruction worked.

A dry ball joint on a brand new Libby? While anything is possible, unless
there is a recall specifically for ball joints I seriously doubt this is the
problem she is having.

Crawl up under her and check to see if a stick or something stuck in
there where the axel thingy is conected to the wheel. Front wheels
have an extra set of U-joints exposed. You do not have tumble weeds
but I am sure there is plenty of other road debris over there. It
would be unusual but not unheard of for something to get caught in
there.

While you are up under there grab the axel and see if you can twist is
by hand - actually, make sure that it does not have any play in it.
If a quick visual inspection finds nothing then take it to a dealer
pronto. My TJ started making a scraching sound at one particular
speed from the left front wheel, turned out to be a bearing.

Regularly spend time under your four wheel drive. Any time it is in a
shop and up on a lift give the undersides a good visual inspection.
It is kinda fun. Enjoy your Liberty!
