  1. And its fixed!!!!!!!!!!! the bushings fixed it. I changed all the control arms ,the only way could get them Put about 20 miles on today with no problems, going to drive it tomorrow alot more and on diffrent road surfaces just to make sure. Agin sorry about the time it took to reply things just kinda went fast along with having as hard time to get parts. I just want to thank everyone that helped we tryed every idea that was put to us. Agin sorry about the time there was no excuse I should have taken the time to keep everyone informed as to what was going on. I have a lot of problem cars that i work on during the week appx 4-5 after everyone else works on them i end up takeing care of them not only from our stores (4) but from other places in the area. So at times things kinda get away from me ----Still no excuse!!!! Agian thanks to everyone who helped..
  2. sorry it has taken so long to reply I should have answered sooner, but we have just gotten the jeep back in on friday been having trouble getting parts from chrysler everything has been on back order. did tryed a new stablizer shock on fri. but did not help that is only a bandaid. Can not get bushings by them self have to get entier control arm did find one that the bushing was soft changing all 4 arms should be done sometime monday afternoon also going to try to get the front end alined on mon going to go to our other store and do it my self so i know that it is done right and not a set the toe and go type.Agin sorry for not keeping you all updated there is no excuse of not
  3. my 51 desoto has only 1 inline fuse for the radio and has 2 breakers 1 for the wiper motor and 1 for everthin else monted on the brace for the dash by the steering colum
  4. Oh yeah I too think it is a bushing in the control arms but no one else at the garage thinks so, Havent found just the bushings seperate must buy complete control arms from chrysler
  5. sorry didnt get back sooner on the update. Was helping out with the local firemans parade this weekend. Any way the new stablizer shock didnt arrive on friday like the parts store promised(we have a hard time getting parts that are out of the ordanary) But i did have a gentelman call me and suggested that we remove the drive shaft and both axle shafts install stub shafts and drive to see if wobble went away, dont have any stub shafts around either unless we take apart the axle shafts, which we will do on monday. Only problem is that the service manager gave the customer back the jeep for the weekend , I told him not to because if something would happen if they loose control of the jeep because of the wobble that we could be at fault because we know there is a serious handling problem. Hopefully the bring it back on monday. All parts should be here then.
  6. just got back to work today, yesterday they check the stablizer shock deceied to replace it to try we had just put a new one on last week and it was a rancho. wont have the new one till tomorrow will let everyone know
  7. we did put heavier shock on it no luck going to try bushings next should have case nuber not sure what it is not at work today check tomorrow
  8. not to change the subject but my grandson was born early this morning!!!! Xavier came into this world at 9lbs 9oz. Trying to get ahold of his dad right now he is in Iraq somewhere. now back to jeep that is the strange thing We sold the jeep new but this problem never stated untill it hit 30k. We swaped tires off of a nother wrangler off the lot (new 2 miles) Im thinking caster is off dont know if can adjust solid axle looks as if can be but no cam bolts
  9. no pitman arm or idler arm on this set up has one tie rod end on the steering box which goes to the right side knuckle then another rod with 2 tie rod end on each side running between the right and left wheel all parts new along with ball joints but could one be to tight and binding?
  10. well we replaced the rotors and checked the hubs for trueness then matchedmounted the rotors right side was 0.005 left side was 0.008 road test still wobles bad. If you warch the wheels you can see them both start to move back and forth very fast and can hear them chirp on the pavement. Has plain power steering we have even swaped out a new box from one on the new car line with same results. But that is not saying that may be,could there be air or possiably a hose problem? Hmmmm need to check that in the am. it has to be something simple just stating us in the face and we cant see it. keep the ideas comming i will check anything that anyone says even if already been done we have to get this fixed thanks will let you know what fixes it. anything
  11. will check the rotors, I did forgot to mention tha this happens with out using the brakes usually at 40 50 mph on a turn. I nornally check toque on the rotors but i havent check the mounting flange tho. hmmmmm need to check that thanks
  12. I know that this is going to be a to new of car for some of you , but we are at witts end. And since chrysler tech advisors cant figuer this out though i would ask people with more experiance and common sense. I work at a chrysler dealer ship and we are working on a 2007 jeep wrangler with a wobble so bad it will rip the steering wheel out of your hands and will also cross the center line this thing is bad, we have changed the steering stablizer shock steering box ball joints tie rod ends have had the alignment check within specs.shocks basicly the complete front end rebuilt still the same even played with tires (diffrent ones along with wheels) tire pressures. If any one has any idea even if it is way out there i would like to know it. Even if the radio is on the wrong station right now customer has it on country I would like to know. Either let me know on here or even call me at 814 371 8152 and ask for mel Any help of any kind will be welcome as this jeep is almost in a buy back situation at thei time. thank you very much I know someone out there will have an answer to this problem thanks Melvin Schwentner
  13. up untill they change the jeep cj to the wrangler any one with a soft top had TR on the reg. and that is what we put in the inspection Book at time of state inspection. When it went to the wrwngler name they then use sdn on the reg, and still do today weather it is a 4dr or 2dr soft top or hard top every once in awhile will see one titled as a conv.

  18. I am planing a trip out to california later this summer in July to see my sister in law, my wife is from ca. orignaly from the Banning area, out side of Palm Springs. My sister inlaw had said that there was a swap meet in pasudena at the time i was going. Will be out there from July 25 thru Aug 1. But she cannot find any info on it. She said that my nephew will take me where ever i want to go He is the one one that said about the swap meet. If anyone has any info let me know even any old junk yards in the area, looking for parts for my 1965 chrysler mostly little interior parts and also a radio. Only been out there 2 time before never had any time to look for anything. This time we are flying out instead of driving (i wanted to but wife said no). so i will have more time also last times was more business related. any ideas of where to go what to see would be fine in the greater LA area. thanks Mel
  19. want to get out soon towards the end of the month we go camping for woodsey owl weekend at the local state park, if winter ever leaves, and if my mother gets out of the hosiptal soon.
  20. not to worry went down this week and had it retitled and plated with reg Pa plates. so all is now good Put the antique plates back on the desoto so i can run it this summer
  21. that may right and all i am missing is the extension piece because right along side the heater hose there is a bolt hole. I do have piece made up which will connect both the lower ac and alt bracket. which should hold everything tight. worked at a chrysler dealership since the 70s but just cant for the life of me remember how the brackets run. guess its been too long. I'll try my bracket and see how it works. thanks for the help.
  22. not real sure if anyone can help but the bracket for alt is not mounted right not sure if i even have all the parts, the moter is a 1970or71 383 chrysler I do know that the slide should be at the top but some one had it at the bottom along with one mount for the ac and it does not mount to the block so the alt keeps sliding I turned the slid around but still no place to attatch it to the block. anyone have any ideas. havent found any pictures to look at yet.
  23. It was a nice day here today so thought good day to try pulling my camper with my car. Wanted to see how well it would do before taking off this summer,going on a few trips this year and are going to take the chrysler. It did very well pulled great no overheating braking was not the greatest but did ok as the camper weights 1789 empty and it doesnt have brakes. just have to watch ahead. Drove appx 30 miles at 55mph, pulled hills great. Hope it works this good this summer!! Has an orignal 1965 trailer hitch had to really look to find the 1 5/8 draw bar as i was told that was the standard back in the day. just need to clean up the towing mirrors.
  24. didnt have it listed on the site going to give them a call later today thanks very much for the info
  25. I am posting this for our parts department,I work for a chrysler dealer we havea customer that is trying to put together a 1981 chrysler cordoba 6cylinder 225cid. As far as i know this car has leanburn system. the part number for this part is 4145074 chrysler part nimber. no longer advabile from chrysler. it mounts on the firewall and out book calls it a throttle control box which lead me to believe that this is lean burn not to many had lean burn and not to many had a 6 either. its been a long time since i ahve work on one of these. any one that knows where i can find this or has this part let me know. Either let me know here or email me or call 866-584-8689 ask for either mel or Nate (parts manger) any help leads or info welcome.
