The Mr. Clean 'magic erasers' have a fine abrasive in them, so I would not use them.
Try a good quality pencil eraser. I use a Staedtler white eraser to remove stubborn spots from all the black plastic...
I wish my free oil changes and tire rotations were transferable, because I won't use them and I'd gladly give them to one of you. Plus, I'm pretty sure all 4 of my tires rotate every time I drive.
Everyone seems to take the position that shocks 'degrade'. I agree that under some set of operating conditions they do, but for the way many people use these Mojaves, I don't think that there would be anything noticeable at 50k miles.
I can tell you that I've had a lot of cars and driven a...
I'm not sure what you mean by this. The rear only has outer seals by the axle shaft bearings. There are no seals in the same area as the #5 position on the front axle.
If you are asking about "rear inner axle seals", they do not exist, but maybe I don't understand what your question is.
There may be some terminology misunderstanding. The rear axle does not have inner seals, they are outer seals. The seals are #5 in the below illustration, which are supplied as part of the complete shaft assy #1.
Is there anyone out there with a Mojave that has reported noticeable degradation in the factory shock performance? I can't help but think that Fox's recommended service intervals are conservative, especially for vehicles driven mostly on road.
No, you don't want to do that if you are going to be driving it on road. My suggestion is that you get the break-in procedure in writing from the gear manufacturer or the shop doing the re-gear, then follow it exactly. That way if there is any issue, you can go back to them.
Both my 21 Mojave and 14 JK Rubicon make the same rear clunk on transition. Most of the time it is fairly subtle, but sometimes when shifting from R to D or D to R, it is quite noticeable. Both have the factory ELD which is made by GKN. If you look at the way the GKN e-locker is made, it is...
You need to use a good quality silicone grease like the grease I linked to. Not the spray-on crap or lithium spray.
But, I agree 100% that you shouldn't have to do anything to the shocks to keep them from squeaking. Do you think that when you have them rebuilt something is going to be done...
Have you tried the silicone grease 'trick'? On my Mojave, all 4 shocks would make that exact squeaking/creaking noise if I pushed on the bumpers. I jacked the vehicle to extend the shocks, made sure everything was clean, then applied silicone grease on the shaft especially up around the seal...
It's always been that way. Always. But, people don't seem to realize this and end up at the dealership thinking that the dealer really wants their vehicle.
Anyhow, too bad they don't want to deal on your trade. When I did a factory order for my Mojave, I did all the pricing negotiation...
Popular demand? The best reason is simply to comply with the maintenance required to maintain the warranty. Every oil change on mine gets a Mopar filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum oil. The entire side of the filter box showing the p/n as well as the entire back of the oil jug gets saved for...
Wow, now I'm starting to feel old. My first mountain bike was a 1984 Panasonic "All Terrain Bike".
After having full rigid bikes, I bit the bullet in 1994 and got a Ted Wojcik Soft-Trac Dual Suspension. A bad wreck in 2017 broke the frame, but Ted said he'd fix it for me. That bike still...
Before my pre-acceptance test drive, I checked the pressure and they were all at ... wait for it ... 43 psi.
Everybody in the showroom was looking at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears when I aired down to 37psi before my test drive.
