Re: RE: Uneven brake shoe wear

LBR- You are a genius!!!

I finally got a chance to spend some time with the CJ this weekend and sure enough, the torque converter bolts were a little loose allowing it to wiggle back and forth. Each was probably between a half and full turn from being tight. I torqued them back down easily enough. Hopefully that cures the noise. I'll have to drive it a bit first and its supposed to rain all week, so I might not know right away, but given the fact that the noise was coming from that area and that was loose, I'm pretty sure its fixed. Also, I had noticed when I put it in gear or turned the engine off, I heard kind of a clunk lately, but that showed up way before the noise ever did so I kind of got used to it and never connected the two. That clunk is not there anymore...

LBR-
Why do I need to replace the bolts ASAP? I will, they should be cheap and its an easy job, but just wondering what your experience is with this...

THANK YOU! Once again, jeepz to the rescue.
