Re: Problem with TJ suspension - Clunk
Yes Matt, like your TJ, I can bounce it clean off the ground:
http://www.----------.com/bouncingFord.jpg Of course, there's not much
traction up there. But, it does make a great Jeep toter, and rides as
nice as my Thunderbird.

Re: Problem with TJ suspension - Clunk
From the factory, the entire link has to be replaced...once the upper ball
joint goes, the whole thing is toast. He should replace them with some nice
disconnects.

Re: Problem with TJ suspension - Clunk
Or at least ones with bushings top and bottom like those aftermarket
ones are. A ball joint lined up in line on the end of a push pull part
is a really silly design in my mind.
