M1A1TankerTom Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 so after having some steering issues recently I threw some new parts on the comanche today. Installed all 4 new tie rod ends, new steering stabilizer, new wheel bearings/hubs, new 760 u joints, new ball joints, and all 4 new bilstein shocks. Thing rides like a dream now! Just thought I would share :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW86 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 hell yeah. thats how you should do it. i remember i had one hub go out so i replaced about everything in the front axle at once. hubs, ball joints, u joints, axle shafts, axle tube seals, steering stab. and tie rod end. I'm sure theres more but not long after that a locker found a new home up there too. ive got bilstein 5160s ready to go in now its worth it to not have to mess with the front axle again for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 What Bilstiens did you install? Do you notice a more stable ride? I had Bilstiens on my Ranger and now wished I had saved up the $400 for the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1A1TankerTom Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I ordered these: http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/index. ... ts_id=1662 I ordered half of my parts from motionoffroad and the other half from rockauto.com, I have to say this is one of the few times that I ordered something off the internet where nothing came damaged, sent the wrong part, or somehow ended up having a fubar experience. Also a big thumbs up goes out to motionoffroad for cutting my shipping prices in more than half after a simple phone call, thanks guys!!! The shocks ride great, put my old ranchos to shame! Also wanted to say that ball joints are not fun to change :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
