What problems does your Jeep have this week?

That’s a grade 8 already? Looks like 1/2” ? How are you hitting 20,000 lbs of force ?

Would putting a stronger bolt be a good idea or do you think it would damage the mounts or the arm. My brother works for a bolt manufacturer that does a lot of high strength stuff of all sizes. I can see if he can get something with more sheer strength.

I doubt it. If something is off with geometry or whatever it’s probably putting the entire weight of the Jeep on one bolt. I’m just not sure why it’s happening. I know a few people that haven’t had any issues, some that have had a couple and others that have had a lot.

The worst part is getting that damn nut in there. The rear lowers are the worst to get in too.

WTF? Broke another??

I should note that it’s only been an issue on 2012-up JKs. Moby and anyone I know with an older JK has not had this problem.

Mine have been breaking on an 08. Never heard it was a 2012 and up JK bigger issue. Why would that be?

What about a F9 bolt? I was told they are stronger then a grade 8.

The thing about hardware is that if you don't want it to shear or break you usually go softer like a grade 5 that bends. The harder the bolts are, they are usually more brittle.

Weird. I swear, if this had ever happened to me, I would have made a post about it years ago. The only people I've ever seen this happen to are guys with newer JK's. But then, we never had it happen on Rubicat.

Yeah I was thinking that as I was trying to get the damn control arm out. I didn’t think you were breaking them. The shitty part is the flange nut is seized in the broken bolt.

I almost think I have a couple of those flag nuts if you need me to look

[QUOTE=nightcrawlerjk;853600]I'm sure we all know that jeeps never stop having problems but that's just part of the fun. Interested in seeing what went wrong this week .

For starters everyone I turn my windshield wipers off they just start to go faster, in order for them to actually turn off I have to turn my car on and off.

Let's here what wrong with your guys' rigs.

My car's radiator overheated. I was going for a road trip. Luckily I have my tools with me and some spare parts.

Started hearing a strange clicking noise coming from the front end. Doesn't matter if I'm in 2wd or 4wd. Not a consistent noise but today towing a trailer it started getting worse and the front end actually started vibrating but it went away. Almost felt like a tire out of balance. Possible hub assembly issue?
