OK, that's pretty darn funny

There were three threads with the same title. I've merged them all.

Limiting straps are a pretty good idea, and I hadn't thought of that. I'll do the paint mark too - thanks.

You're right, it may do that. It is under tension, even when fully flexed out - the shock and rear swaybar keep it under tension. I was unable to jack up the frame and spin / move the spring. We'll see how it goes.

You've hit the nail on the head with this one. My passenger rear tire was at 12 psi while my driver side was at 30. That was the original cause of my lean , but in looking to it more, I noticed the passenger spring wasn't centered in the top bucket. As superj suggested, I jacked the Jeep up and...

I just renewed support for the forum, and have updated us to the latest software. Let me know if you see anything goofy.

I didn't know the stock had a slight bend in it, that's interesting. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm going to take the tire off and see if the spring isn't seated wrong, like superj mentioned. I want to make sure the top of the spring is centered correctly.

It's the rear spring, but I think I understand what you mean. There's a groove or spot for the end of the spring if I remember. I'll pull the wheel off and droop it out tomorrow and take a look.

I have a feeling the real issue is that my springs have an arch in them because the buckets are not properly aligned. Here's a photo of what looks to be an arch in the spring on my passenger side. I wonder if new coil spring isolators would help center the spring (but not fix the arch)...

I noticed a little bit of lean toward the passenger side of my Jeep. After crawling under and looking around it looks like the passenger side spring isn't positioned correctly. In the spring bucket. I've got 3.5 in lift springs so I gather that things are not going to line up perfectly. Is there...

I finally got back out on the trail. Went with some buddies to Peters Mill Run up in Northern Virginia. We had a great time and I put in for the badge through the " Jeep badge of honor" app. My 19-year-old Jeep is just getting broken in at 177777 miles. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Are you sure that you have YJ doors? I believe that you can put CJ doors on a YJ. Maybe someone swapped yours?

No, I put some Moog rubber bushing in that I had bought some time ago. I didn't know that Metalcloak make upgraded bushings, they look good, But I'm not sure I'd trust my welding skills just yet. I saw some Iron Rock bushings that are press in, but didn't want my Jeep down while I waited on...

It took quite a bit of work but I was finally able to press out the bushing with a ball joint press. Definitely not a job I want to do again. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Well I had intended to change the upper Axle bushings, but all I ended up doing was mangling them. I'll hit up the parts store tomorrow for a press. Wish me luck Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I have no idea if these guys are good or not, but I was able to find this: https://www.factory-manuals.com/shop/2015-jeep-renegade-repair-manual/

I'm sorry to hear things have been rough - maybe you're right that a change of scenery is what you need. Just take it one day at a time man.

About this - I've got cans of both PB Blaster and Seafoam Deep Creep, and both of them have "warning flammable" on the back. I sprayed the nuts / stud several times, but never when it's hot. Are people getting these bolts red hot, then spraying Blaster on them, or waiting for everything to...

Thanks JPNinPA, I'll take a look at that.

Welcome Giovanni. I had to run your comment through Google translate, but your right the shock absorbers have been replaced previously (actually a couple of times).
