Just as I base I have a 99 Cherokee, AW4, 242, 4.0, D30-8.25.
34's and The RE 5.5" with RC drop brackets
1. Control Arm bushings. These are the third set of arms I have had on the jeep, started with procrap, then to RC, then to the RE's with superflex joints. On all these arms the bushings on the lowers have turned to garbage. Everytime I come to a stop or take off, go in reverse and hit the brakes, its just pop clunk pop. I wheel my rig... but I don't expect RE bushings to be gone in 3 months.
Any ideas how to prevent this?
2. After wheeling a local trail (waterfalls, big rocks, rough terrain) I leave the trail to have my steering feeling VERY tight. Driving down the road at 35 it takes alot to turn the wheel and it won't center right at all. Just feels generally sticky. I checked my box, pump, links, and everything "looked" okay.
Any clue what this issue could be?
3. Brown coolant. It gets oddly foaming looking and is definitely brown. Someone said it could be a blown head gasket but someone else told me that it was a chemical reaction from me mixing green and orange coolant by accident.
