Squeaks and Rust

(1/1)

dljaljevic:
Hello everyone!
This weekend I bought my first wrangler (2013 Sport, 2 Door) and I love it!
I just have some questions though, there is rust on the frame underneath. I was thinking about sandblasting/sanding/chemically removing it, and then applying POR15. Anyone have any experience/comments with this?
I also have a light squeaking sound when I drive at lower speeds (40-50 km/h). I'm thinking it could be my suspension, I tried to lube it up but I can't find any grease fittings. Does anyone have any advice for greasing it up? Thanks!

Por15 works pretty good, but be warned the frame on these jeeps hangs low and takes a lot of abuse off-road. And the squeak you have almost sounds like a driveshaft joint squeaking, which is common when the rzeppa joint boot cracks open.

Hey thanks for the reply, I am going camping this weekend and then getting the windsheild replaced Tuesday. Was thinking of bringing the jeep by your shop sometime next week for a diagnosis?

hps4evr:
Yeah sounds good. Give us a shout next week.
