Re: Problem with TJ suspension - Clunk
No this isn't a runaround
Just typical kryco crap, like my two piece rod
for my jack. Went to use the jack for a different
purpose (lift my ski-doo, which is way lighter than the Jeep)
And the plug just spun in the socket of the two piece rods
that crank the jack.
50 dollars for a new "piece of junk" two piece rod.
I better check that it works, before the warrenty runs out on it.

Re: Problem with TJ suspension - Clunk
Thanks, that still shows a solid pin with rubber bushings, not a ball
joint or is that just a crappie photo?
The skyjacker replacement sure has bushings, see photo 2.7 in the
skyjacker install at:
