So many people who make videos that talk and talk and talk without getting to the meat of the subject. I truly believe they enjoy the sound of their own voices.

NOTE For future reference: The bushings are 'stepped', meaning the diameter of the bushing is not the same across the entire length of the area (sleeve) that is pressed into the axle 'ear'. On the LEFT/drivers side, the bushing will only press in to the first step, leaving about a half inch of sleeve sticking out. This is normal. On the passenger side, the bushing holes in the ear are slightly different diameters allowing the bushing to press all the way in. The bushings themselves are the same part number and both press in from left to right. And in case you're wondering, left & right are determined from the perspective of the drivers seat looking out the front of the vehicle. Doesn't matter if you have a left hand or right hand drive vehicle, the orientation will be the same. That is the global industry standard.

Great video and info. Everyone has an amateur hour day now and then. Always happy to share your vids. Thanks. God bless.

I am on my 4th WJ and have had varying degrees of death wobble on every one of them. I have two WJs currently, an 03 Overland daily driver and my love a red 04 Overland, lifted, tires, 4.56 gears, motor, trans, it's my Jeep ( just empty every pocket). I have been chasing DW on the 03 ever since I bought it, watched this video and it is the BEST video on DW. Opened my eyes to components I intuitively replaced on other WJs and thought I could get- by-with on the 03. Visited your Amazon store last night for parts. Great information, keep them coming.

We can all agree D&E is the best Jeep channel around, right?

Awesome bud. You finally decided to take on that battle and it appears you came out victorious! 👌

I have all the tools required, but I'm just dreading the day i have to do this to my WJ. Looks like I'll be pulling the whole axial. Thanks for the video.

My ZJ had DW due to bad bushings. So I just grabbed an IRO lift kit and replaced all 8 control arms, 4 springs, & both trackbars. Worth it. I presed the axle side upper bushing out with a ball joint kit from Harbor Freight 👍🏻

I'm in the middle of this right now, Also, changing out the rusted oil pan on a 4.7l which sucks because you have to take the y pre cat pipe out but it's making easier to get to will all the steering and track bar out of the way. Then I have a rear axle seal I need to do.

I personally also use the Detroit Axles a little over a year, no issues. People will comment that they are trash though. Also, I'd recommend replacing those control arm bolts that go to the axle because that torx head are easy to strip.

I use a lower control arm nut as a spacer instead of a wrench. When removing I push the inner sleeve and use a saw all to cut the outer part. And they pop right out

Solid tip! Thanks bud

Tackled the driver side yesterday. The lower arm swap was easy enough to build up my confidence. The upper arm came out quite easy boosting my confidence even more. Then came removing the upper, front bushing. Quite the humbling experience. The 3 pound hammer and cold chisel technique is NOT the fastest/easiest/least frustrating way to go. The passenger side will wait until I can borrow an air hammer. 3 hrs total with around 2 1/2 of those pounding away to remove the bushing.

I had a friend help and we removed the axle completely (easy on a 2wd). We froze the new bushings. We had both axle bushings totally replaced in about 4 minutes. Old ones came out easy with a few good swings from a big hammer and new ones tapped in quick. My transmission jack was great for supporting and moving around the front axle.

Gud job!👍

I love these videos! Everything just pops out then I get all my parts ready to go and I spend hours beating, cutting and wanting to light everything on fire! I've replaved everything on this 96 grand cherokee excpet the upper control arms and the truck still sways and drives lifke shit. I've been trying to avoid this job but I don't see it happening...

Hey dude on my 1999 WJ with the 4.0 42Re I changed out my starter and ever since then I’ve had a unresponsive throttle at times the 42Re shifts good and is working great but I have to give it like a quarter throttle or more at times to drive around and when I hit 45 it’s harder than usual to stay at that speed as when I let go it shifts down and starts slowing down I’m gonna check out my IAC like you mentioned before and go from there

Freeze the bushing and they slip in with just a little tippy, tap, tap. Just don't tell the misses you used her freezer 😉

Put your jack on the steering stabilizer mount on the axle and it will twist and you can line up the bolt holes. The mount won't break.

Hey. Thank you for the video. I'm at the part where I'm trying to install the upper control arm but it doesn't line up. I'm a complete newbie. What did you mean by the tower where the upper control is mounted? Did you mean around the inlet itself? I have an 08 jk and I can't seem to get it right. I'm so close by lifting the differential housing with a jack and the 2 front wheels off the ground but it's missing not even 3/16" of an inch to the side

Very helpful to my mechanic. Lol. This is way over my head tho. 2004 Sahara with recurring death wobble issues. Any vids or tips on dealing with rust?

i use a tool i got when building a foxbody for the rear axle upper control arm bushings

Are there any good u pull yards in south Jersey?? And trying to figure out what neon I need to pull the fuel injectors from to do the swap. Any help will be appreciated. Keep up the awesome videos guys

Thanks for the hints and tips, that is the only thing I have pending to do the upper control arms and the bushings on the differential. It's been such a drag to start on it. I wonder if that will stop the wobble I get, I feel like my jeep rocks side to side when I turn or go on a bump. It's not a death wobble but feels like I am on a boat when I go over a bump or dip.

Sounds like track bar bushings are worn. Have someone turn you steering wheel slightly back & forth, while you watch things move under the front🎯

Hey, I removed the whole axle out, and somehow connected the upper and lower control arms. I had removed everything including the track bar, steering stuff, struts, coils etc. I tried to put by track bar in but it was about an inch off, somehow managed to put it in place by lifting the passenger side of the axle. Now the upper control arm is rubbing against the passenger side catalytic converter. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a sequence to put everything back? Please let me know, thanks!

So question. When a Jeep is on the ground you cannot get to the front upper control arm bolts how did you tighten those up

my death wobble unfortunately my death wobble came from my front ball joints. not sure if it was the front or lower but i changed all of them, there was a lot of play in them. after the ball joint swap it cured the death wobble and made the ride on the road way much better.

So my buddy thought he could drive his jeep tj like a rzr and ended up ripping a entire knuckle off on the driver side. He kept going till he was good amd properly stuck. Halfway off a 20' sloped hill. I told him he just cost himself a 1000 bucks. Luckily i had some spare knuckles from doing axle swaps. He had ome day to spare before work and couldnt stay to help recover it so i made him buy the snap on ball joint press and a bunjee tow rope. I would not of gotten him out with a regular strap. Beleive me i tried and we even had a second truck pulling. Anyways i fixed the ball joints but didnt put a new front axle shaft in at the time. We ended up getting it out. We just dropped a new dynatrak crate 44 in. Its super badass. Just Empty Every Pocket

Dear lord! Thats a Jeeper for ya! Just send it!

Did you use Detroit Axle for all of the steering and suspension components you've replaced so far?

Question when you used the come along was the WJ on the ground? Doing this today

first time I did this I couldn't see the bushing when I pressed it and wound up pressing it too far and had to replace the front axel housing as the bushing wouldnt fit any longer.

Im a proponent of getting both axles from pick a part or similar doing full rebulid and then slapping them in

I'm glad you did this one, I'm replacing all 8 control arms on my ZJ. The control arms arrived the other day, but I still need to order the front bushings. When it comes to the rental tools, I'm on the train of thought where if you rent them 3 times, you need to buy them. Have you ever replaced the ring and pinion in a Dana 30? When I replaced the gear oil in mine last year I noticed the glittery oil and the ring and pinion gears were real shiny.

Aw hell ye

Did this fix the death wobble ? I’ve added adjustable lower and upper control arms, adjustable track bar , new drag link, new steering link and I still have fn death wobble

also put the new bushings in the freezer to shrink them for easier install .

its easier to remove the front upper bushings if you lift the frame up and put a jack under that than lift your axle, remove your wheels and then lower there axle to gain the room needed to use the press to remove the bushings. Its really easy to mess up the passenger side mount hole by using power tools and beating on it with a hammer besides its just easier

Ive replaced all my control arms now time to tackle the two bushings on the front axle. Will the balljoint press pop the bushings out?

How edited is this video? That drivers side bushing looked pretty beat, how long did it take to get out? I’m getting ready to put in control arms on my WJ.

hot tip - for the smae ammount of effort and a $500 dollar kit you can just replace everything in the front end in one crack from detroit axel

Does that Astro Ball Joint Kit include the special/unique "Dana 30" adapters (that have the angle to match the angled Dana 30 ball joint holders/mounting locations)?

Yeah the upper control arm bushing at the axle on my xj sucks. 😆 Speaking of Detroit axle parts, I just did a rear brake job on the wife's so called jeep Patriot this weekend, not a real jeep. 😆 The rotor was correct and the back inner brake pad was great the outer not even close. What china man packed that box ughh. So I got MacGyver on it and made it work. Not sure about Detroit axle parts anymore. Is that ball joint press have that certain angle press cup that is for the xjs not sure if your jeep has that. Keep up the good work.

I've found that the Jeep Gods require a bit of knuckle skin and blood to ensure that the job is done properly.

I made the mistake of buying cheap Amazon suspension crap. It's all garbage and only lasted a couple years. Precision or Moog will last!
