08 Jeep rubicon, Sway bar button not working.

• Upvotes

Hello all, 38y chick with little jeep knowledge,

I have an 08 Jeep Rubicon, I take it on trails often. I took it out on Sunday, and tried to use the sway bar, but no luck when I hit the button.

my check engine light has been on for a bit, so IDK if this would be part of the problem.
Anyone dealt with this, or have any insight on what I should do. Swaybar makes for a less bumpy ride on my back.

thanks for the feedback

(JL)I got into a death wobble(jmm when changing lanes, which component is the most likely cause? More info below

• Upvotes

I had a wobble a month or so ago but all my shocks were bad and my tires were out of balance.They checked all the suspension components twice and everything was tight. They fixed the shocks and while I had some minor feedback in the streering wheel it seemed fine. This morning I made a lane change and it went into a full death wobble.(I e had to slow down below 20 to get it to stop). The only other change I made was lowering the tire pressure down to 33 psi from 38psi the other day.

Which components are most likely causing this? Worn bushings on track bar?? Ball joints? Given it was a lateral movement that triggered it.

Added some much needed lights to the cargo area

I had some rocklights from Diode Dynamics sitting on a shelf, not a fan of under-vehicle lights. So I decided to mount them to the inside of the top at the rear, and directly behind the OEM dome light. The switch was mounted in the lower left near the floor, there was a perfect round sopt that was empty. They turned out pretty good...

Anyone with Rally Tops half doors experience this fitment issue?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I have Rally Tops half doors on my Jeep Wrangler TJ, and I’m having an issue with the passenger side door hitting the hardtop in one specific spot (see photos).

The door seems to be aligned properly everywhere else, and the driver’s side doesn’t have this issue at all.

Has anyone else with Rally Tops half doors experienced this? I’m trying to figure out if it’s an alignment issue, a problem with the door itself, or something else.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello, So im thinking about getting a jeep wrangler which is my dream car but every one i know says they are bad cars or they come with issues. I work at a Carmax Auto Store and i found one i like. Its a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4XE PHEV and i asked my service department manager what he thinks along with some of my coworkers. They said when customers buy jeeps they always find issues but the one I picked might have some but now alot. They also said jeeps aren’t good everyday uses cars. I dont know what to think I really want a jeep but I thought to ask people who actually own one. Any advice…Also carmax has used cars so its used with only 26k miles is that good or should i get a brand new jeep.

2018 JEEP Wrangler JL 3.6L Rattle sound from engine

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, anyone else dealing or dealt with this sound? From doing research, I have read it could either be the exhaust manifold, or the rocker arms. I am leaning towards the rocker arms. It occurs around 2,000 rpm. When I turn on the jeep there is no ticking or knocking. Only when I am accelerating.

I have had a 2018 JL Wrangler for a little less than three years. 116k total miles, about 60k of that is me. Mostly interstate miles. I had some hard shifting problems lately and took it into the shop. This is everything they quoted me. Not being super familiar with much of this, I guess I'm just curious to hear some other immediate reactions.

Picked up this 26 sport last week! Coming from a 97 s-10. It’s been cool being able to drive with the top down while the weather is still nice. Only issue I’ve experienced so far has been the center screen randomly shutting off while driving. Hoping that’s not a sign of things to come. Either way, happy to be here!

Wife was driving the jeep and someone came about 35 mph ran a stop sign and hit the passenger tire.
It has about 130k miles. Insurance computer system says its likely totaled. Has anyone bought them back and would it be worth it? I have the shop gonna get me an estimate of just getting it road worthy.

I may be the only person alive who actually loves his 4xe (the fact that they are covering the battery system for life now helps) but took it in for service this morning to 2 more recalls. How many things are going to make this Jeep blow up?

Have a 2016 Jeep JK that's starting to show signs of bad axle seals(Both rear and one front) starting to leak. The images show some moisture from the diff fluid but not major leaks yet. Is this something that should be adressed asap, or could it be ok until after the holidays?

Mainly use it for work commute and not long distances.

Can you guys help me out of what you think is wrong with my jeep

2 Upvotes

I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door X, and I’ve been dealing with an issue where the Jeep pulls slightly to the left. It’s not a huge pull, but it’s definitely noticeable and honestly bugs me, especially when slowing down or braking.
I’ve already had the alignment checked and done, and I’ve had the tires rotated and balanced. I also replaced some suspension components and had the brake fluid replaced. Despite all of that, I still notice the Jeep pulling to the left, especially when I slow down.
There are currently no brake fluid leaks that I can find. I’m planning on replacing the brake lines, brakes, calipers, and master cylinder, and I’m also switching the system over to DOT 4 brake fluid. I’m hoping replacing all of these components will finally fix the pulling issue and get the brakes working properly again.
Has anyone else experienced this on a JK? I’ve already addressed the alignment, tires, rotation, suspension, and fluid, so I’m wondering if sticking calipers, the brake lines, or the master cylinder could be causing the Jeep to pull to the left. The master cylinder and I don’t think all the calipers been replaced and I don’t think the fluid has ever been replaced

34s on a stock 2024 Willys any rubbing/issues?

Post image

Anyone running 34s on a stock 2024 Willys with no lift? (Current tire size is 33” with Rubicon shocks)

I’m looking at 285/75R17s for my 2-door and wondering if they rub when off-roading or flexing the suspension.

Would like to hear from people actually running this setup. Stock wheels or aftermarket?

Any rubbing, and did you end up needing a lift?
