Heep problems

[AZ73]

Got these through some contacts with early Broncos up in Big Bear California. They rescued this heep. Notice the bumper sticker.

Maybe it’s really made by the name on the bottom of the license plate. Haven’t found it on my TJ however. LOL

Looks like FAD failure and a case of "when technology goes too far..."

Maybe this is a good excuse for him to upgrade to a D44 with locking hubs

That is funny!

separated ball joints is never fun...

In good fun maybe we need a sticker for “Jeep Rescue Vehicle” with an upside down duck on it. Was looking up the Tonka theme and ran across some info about some of the late models having death wobble problems, recalls and class action suits. Hadn’t heard about that yet! That problem has been known for a long time, how do they end up with it on a new vehicle???

Having fixed a few….. it’s dumb. On the track bar they use a fully threaded bolt. Which the threaded go to work on the holes in the brackets. Drill everything out to 9/16” use a 9/16 bolt with the correct amount of shoulder to appropriately capture the bracket and viola it’s fixed.

Just like Ford their solution is an Upgraded steering stabilizer rather than fix the problem. And when that doesn’t fix it they throw up their hands.

Ahhh…thanks!, that is a pet peeve of mine. I’ve seen so many times on vehicles and machinery where they cheap out on things where it would be pennies for a size bigger piece of hardware. Suspension is definitely not a place to scrimp.

Look at the positive side. when the cheap fails there’s enough meat left to drill it up a size and have a like new fit.

Looks like the inventor of the jeep duck fad has passed…

Founder of 'Duck Duck Jeep' dies; vehicle community mourns woman who unintentionally started trend

Being a Jeep owner invites you into a community full of unique concepts. There's the classic Jeep wave and there's "Jeep Ducking." The originator of the idea died on June 22, 2024.
