05 LJ Front Collison..
« on: April 25, 2015, 12:57:57 PM »
Okay, just got hit right front wheel and fender area of my 05 LJ. Guy didn't check when he changed lanes. Definitely new fender etc,  steering shaking after. What should I make sure gets checked in the drive line/steering.?  Ball joints etc.?  Just put new tires and u joints on it... crap...

Oh wow that sucks.  Sorry to hear.

I'd be checking out the tie rods, draglinks etc basically all the steering as well as ball joints unit bearings and make sure the diff itself isn't tweeked.  Good luck with it.

Thanks... she was not happy to steer on the limp home.  Will definitely stand my ground on a complete inspection by a 4x4 shop of my choosing... "Broken Axle"..

Oh man. That front d44 is all buggered up!  Guess they'll have to buy you a new one!  ;)
