500 MJ Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 only 1 word: MOOG youl pay but you won't change no more Amen.
cz777 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 only 1 word: MOOG youl pay but you won't change no more this is the one ! MOOG !! i have been working on autos etc for 30 some years -moog is my first tier ! for grease conklin rhino -this combo works very well --stay way from the white box parts -made in china by little old lady !
STERLING STINGER Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 i have oebrd from advance auto on now...theyre crappy 20 bucks or so a end draglink was $60 you get what u pay for their still under warranty.....sooooo i HAVE to get my new ones from Advance ...theyll credit me for the old broken ones... so thats my options.... which is the best ones from Advance?
sinkrun Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 My Advance sells Moog they take a day or two to come in.
STERLING STINGER Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 i just went out this morning and got some stuff to upgrade to solve this problem once and for all draglink tie rods steering damper all moog i needed some gloves...lol....and i got the heavier grease...i just thought it would be better project went sooth as silk...thank god i got done and noticed my end links.....remember this great idea i had about 6 months ago?? :shake: :shake: anyways, after seeing the grease was pouring out of the thing and the top bushing was warped real bad, i replaced it with one of my sterling stinger specials... these work great believe it or not...I'm currently making ones out of 5/8 cold rolled steel at work....there gonna be crazy strong..... ok...."tell the captain were out of sugar"--:Cabin Boy....lolololol
STERLING STINGER Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 i don't think i have the boot on the stabalizer right.....hmmmmmm anyone got pics of theirs for me to compare?
sinkrun Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Not sure, most guys say to leave the boot off it traps more dirt than it keeps out?
wannabeMJ Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 look at your pic it goes the same way that's on there the big end goes on the shock with a zap-strap to hold it and the other end slips over the the tip of the extending rod ( there is a groove for it in the boot)
STERLING STINGER Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 no..i prob havta take a pic to explain.... the boots on right...it just looks too long... maybe i gotta pull it over the whole shock......:)
wannabeMJ Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 maybe the boot is to long or....... the shock is to long !!! with all the parts you just changed I'm assuming its a steering damper do you reach full steering on each side without the damper reaching full run ?? it might be just a faulty adjusment as you might need to move the damper
STERLING STINGER Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 move it where...theres only one way to put it on
wannabeMJ Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 google this : jeep steering damper bracket i tought you were using one of those and not the original setting I never reuse the original setting reason: I always use beefier damper and then they don't fit edit: your damper should have come with some brackets when you ordered it?
STERLING STINGER Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 naa, i got it from advanced...ill google that now
STERLING STINGER Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 ya i see now...so i have to do this? what will happen if i don't.. how do i know how far to put the bracket up the axel?
STERLING STINGER Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 here's what it looks like now....i know the one side is "off the track"???? but....do i really need it somewhere else????
