Mojave bottoming out

[hjdca]

You are not bottoming out until you bottom out the Mohave hydraulic bump stops. So, this is a double hit. A small thunk when you engage the bump stop and a huge jarring hit when you bottom out the hydraulic bump stop. For us with Rubicons, when the rubber bump stops hit, it is very, very jarring - almost like you landed on a rock with your frame, so, unless you are feeling something like that, your hydraulic bump stops are not bottoming out.

What did they have to tighten at the dealership?

Not to get too off-topic, but I'm interested in what castle nut(s) needed to be tightened as well. Was it the ball joints? If so, were they all loose? I thought that was only an issue on JTs with the aluminum knuckles.

Also if you run an aftermarket bumper and winch you have lost some clearance and will hit your bump stops sooner.

Not a jt but same idea. the castle nuts are the nuts that look like castles.

Careful, you might bend your frame!

I believe it was on the lower control arm. There was a TSB reference it. Service tech told me that he tightened mine a little but the gladiator before me was 4 complete turns. My service tech also owns a gladiator so he knows the ins and outs. Pretty lucky there.

Happen to know what year the TSB is for? I have a 2021 Mojave and wonder if this is part of the reason that I’m constantly having to put input into the steering wheel to keep it straight? Out of town and don’t have the truck to check and see if anything is loose. Thanks

I concur

Here’s a video of my suspension. I was going around 20mph the whoop was a big sewage dip . Felt like bump stop did it’s job but sometimes it does feel hard if I go faster than 20mph.

Find a stiffer set of springs.. but your ride on pavement will suck
