Curly 946 Posted July 1, 2022 Put the Wagoneer on the back burner for now. (It is running) Barbie started making a suspension noise and locking the passenger rear wheel on slow stops. Found the rear upper control arm bushings were bad. I had replaced them not that long ago with new arms with bushings already installed from Quadratec. Bushings didn't last 10k miles. So I went to Napa and bought bushings from them. Spent today driving out the old bushings and installing the new ones. I'll install the arms tomorrow. "Old" bushing 3 of the older bushings U joint tool from Harbor freight made it easy. Done 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaZorraRoja 153 Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Spoiled by having a backup camera, I want to be able to see through it on the trail- when it's most useful. I decided to get a universal windshield washer nozzle and pump and make it work. It does ... Sort of. If I'm on a slope and use it, it siphons. I don't think a check valve will work. Y'all know of any type of valve that might? Edited July 10, 2022 by theksmith Added link to video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaZorraRoja 153 Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks! I am thinking I might have to get a second tank for the rear. I thought adding the motor would act like an antisiphon, but it doesn't. Short of creating my own valve, I figure an extra tank is a cheap solution. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaZorraRoja 153 Posted July 10, 2022 my understanding is the check valve prevents back flow into the tank. but I've never handled one, so I don't know if it could also work like you describe (like if I put it in backwards). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autozone might even have one. Edited July 10, 2022 by theksmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
