Final suspension review


The rear suspension exhibited a thumping/clunking sound that I wanted to examine. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that some good 'ole Baja damage was to blame.

The symptoms led me to discover this problem I was told of in Tijuana last month.


Broken Shock Bar Pin (right)




The shock bar pin on the left is actually an improvised shock bar pin which was previously a crowbar that was hacksawed on the side of the road north of Gonzaga Bay.


Dishwashing soap was used to fit the new bushing into place.


Mike setting up the bar pin.


After we fit the pin into place, locking it securely, the shock was ready for reinstallation.




With everything tightened into place, the Jeep is ready for Baja.:bounce:

Jeeps can be funny - they carry a high resale value and when they are limited in quantity (like in California), carry an unusually high resale premium.

What makes that so is not Quanity, there is lots of Wranglers here.Its because they are not RUST BUCKET'S for the most part.
