Safety / On & Off The Trail / Re: Air Bag Deployment

« on: September 16, 2008, 05:45:47 pm »

are u the original owner? if not check the fuses.  someone might have pulled it to keep it from going off on accident, wheeling air bag equipped vehicles sometimes cause a misfire in the ignition circuit of the air bag sensor, so someone might have pulled it  sorry about your luck  i have an xj so no air bag but a big chunk of steel bumper, but hitting a steering wheel either way hurts like hell (3 broken ribs with a seatbelt) also the dealer might pitch a fit about wheeling saying that may have damaged the system.

 calm down jack, they were the hooks ,made my own brackets as everything else i can on my jeep "built not bought" some box tubing and a drill and yes they were strong enough to hold when i buried it the river(dont ask) i wheel like i heard you do all or none. but now my front bumper is 4x4 1/4" custom fab and they bolt to that too. and i have seen the same hooks for $40 (just the hooks) at the jeep show. you got to look around thats all i was saying.

check and see if there is a locking ring on the top side of the lower ball joint, look hard its just a ring clip and might be covered in grease and dirt. the bottom comes off with a little persuasion but the top is a real sob
