So quick info . Had my gen2 liberty for years now, has 400.000 on the clock love it to death but think death is creeping up on it.....
So deal is I've found a my05 90000 k ... On it for the right price ... Apparently it needs a fdont diff overhaul but after searching on here for hours AMD making a few phone calls thinking mire then likly wheel bearings or center diff.
So question is has anyone seen a front diff in a 6 speed fail and if so with so little k's ?
(so for spelling phones laggy and cant keep up)
Cheers guys

it's possible that the front diff has croaked it due to a failed centre diff putting excess pressure on it.
unless the car has been in an accident where it hit a curb hard and has punched the driveshaft into the diff, damaging the diff and wheel bearings.
if you can get it for $3k cheaper than any other one on the market, just buy it and fit a known good box.
and yeah. owners on here have had the VCD fail anywhere from 60K
mine was gone at 120k when i bought it

so as thought turned out to be the center diff, also the cars fitted with new 225/40/18 on the front and almost bald 215/45/18 on the rear so hoping a new set of tyres all round will sort out the shudder on take off
so depoist place pending a few things ie. rev's check ( airbag light is on ) so bit concerned bout that and want that cleared up before anything else but once thats sorted for the price we agrre'd to cant go wrong i dont think haha

Check the seat airbag plugs, they are known to cause airbag light faults.
