suspension

Hello, friends. My 2009 Patriot is hurting. I have a cracked subframe and it needs immediate attention. Significant rust involved, not 100% certain if that caused the crack, but for what it's worth. The body shop folks are saying $1,000-$1,500 for repairs, with the possible high end of that...

I have a 2008 Patriot with the FDII and recently put on brand new struts on all 4 sides but the rear is sagging heavily. What could it be that is doing this? I took it to moab and did Klondike Bluffs with no issue but I'm worried that something is broken. Anyone have any idea what is wrong here?

Hey all, I've been looking for alternatives for the STU lift kit, as their site page seems to be down, and I'm not sure where else to get them. I came across these adjustable height coilovers by Maxpeeding Rods, but the description is pretty lame. Not sure if they are intended to lower or lift...

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd post something to the forum regarding a lot of repairs I'm going to have done to my 2010 Patriot North Edition, with FD1. First a bit of history, I actually joined the forum a long time ago but I didn't manage to visit/post, the kids were younger back then and things...

Hey, Everybody. I've recently moved to Las Vegas and am looking for a decent reasonable mechanic. I basically need rear suspension work done and tune-up. Any recommendations?

When accelerating my 2007 Patriot Limited FWD will pull to the left. I have to turn the wheel to about 1 o'clock to offset the torque steering. When off the accelerator the vehicle drives straight. The History: I have new-ish tires with less than 10k on them. Even wear and properly inflated...

I'm trying to change the toe link on my 2008 Jeep Patriot and I cannot figure out how to get the bolt that's fastened to the trailing arm to release. I've put a ton of torque on it with a breaker bar, impact, everything I can think of, and nothing moves. Is there a trick to it?

Grabbed the SERVICE manuals for my Jeep from some shady manual site. It said they were for 2008-2016 but are labelled 2014. Figured I'd share, here's a download link: https ://1drv.ms/u/s!AhRkd6_gUNEigZdHOIYSlL0X8VeyUg :smile2:

My Jeep has for some time squeak while braking. It's not very loud, but i did get new brake pads about 6 months ago and probably have less than 2,000 miles on them. They said the pads were fine but i still am wondering what it squeaks. It is usually when i'm coming to a stop from under 25mpn...

Guys, First off I'd like to say that there are tons of amazing Patriots on here. A lot of great information and inspirations for us all. I look forward to gaining some advice and insight into many topics. I will first list a few questions and ideas that I need answered. Feel free to check...

Hi, My rear suspension is creaking and chirping... Almost like I hear the springs compress and depress.. This happens when driving, most noticable when going slow. When i stopped my jeep, I went to the back and pushed down on the rear bumper and could hear the creaking of the back end being...

Hi, I bought a used Jeep Patriot Limited 2007. Want new rear control arms and rear struts (not broken, just has a little rust... I want new parts). Springs were already replaced by previous owner. But I want to replaced some stuff in the rear. Where do you order your suspension from online...

Hey guys this is my first post and I am the proud owner of a 2010 patriot sport. This is my first car and i have already tested out the 4x4 down in Sycamore Creek, AZ on some light trails and sand. Looking for some budget ways to soup up my patriot and make it a little more off road ready...

Hello everyone, I am having yet another problem with my pat. The rear wheels have a huge negative camber. Ive had to replace the wheel hubs twice in the last 4 months due to this problem. The total list of things ive replaced include: Upper control arms ( twice ), Lateral links, sway bar links...

I am interested in lifting my Patriot, but I find the rro lift kit a bit costly for the amount of lift you get. I found a body lift that is supposed to fit a patriot and would be able to lift it 4 inches for about 60 dollars. I asume this will be at the cost of ride comfort which does not...

i recently got a lower ball joint replaced 2 months ago. on the front passenger side. I do notice when i get into my jeep and sit down or when i go over small speed bumps my jeep sounds like it makes a squeaking noise. is this something to worry about or could it just be natural wear on the...

Hey all, This summer I'm looking to have my Patriot lifted, and I was wondering if anyone of the forum did custom lifts, or knows someone who does. I like the RRO lift, but I'd also like to see all of the options, if there are any. If anyone could make something comparable in terms of price...

I just returned from my tire dealer having purchased my first tire replacement at 50,000 miles. New Hankook H724s. The dealer corrected the front end alignment but told me that the rear was out of spec and could not be adjusted. He said he called the local Jeep dealer and they were no help...

I was one of the first to join here back in '07 when I got my new Patriot. I loved it, but the years haven't been so good to her, even though well cared for.... This week I had over $1200.00 in front end work... Suspension, ball joints, etc. I was told they see a lot of this on Patriots. Never...
