- My friend jumped his new Jeep (Wrangler) for a few feet. later he
- noticed that the shifter was moved to the right. Nothing feels out of
- alignment, but the suspects that the engine mounts were bent on impact.
- Actually, the engine fan was hitting the plastc shroud around the
- radiator right after his jump. We thought the differential hit the
- plastic from below, butnow he thinks it is related to the problem with
- the shifter. Any experiences on how violent jumps can affect Jeep
- Wranglers (1.8l 4cyl engine and 31" tires on stock suspension).
-
- I hope he is wrong, oterwise I'll never buy a Jeep.
