How does this happen?

[AXISJT]

Woke up this morning and walk out to leave and I see something in the left front coil of my jeep. On closer inspection it looks like my bump stop exploded lol.


Luckily I have a Clayton lift and metal cloak duro spring bumpstops to install problem is idk when I'm going to have the time to do that in the next few weeks due to work. How bad is it driving without the stop for the mean time?

Unless you plan on flexing your JT or hitting some big ol' holes, you'll be fine, IMHO

You’ll be ok. Like OHJeeper stated.
No extracurricular activities

Thanks I haven't even been off road or anything. I'll try even harder to avoid the 1 billion potholes on the Nashville highways lol

You could get it warranted.

Crazy thing is it was just in the shop a week and a half ago for an oil change and they were definitely looking at the front end for some death wobble issues I imagine it would have had to look not great for it to just shred like that but they didn't notice I guess

All depends on the tech assigned to your Jeep. Some are good ,some not so.

With all the reports of the ecodiesels regularly bottoming out in the front, I would fix that ASAP.

Yea that was the worry I had I may just try and get the duro springs in there and not wait until I do the lift.

Houston, I mean @JeepCares, we have a problem and it’s that diesel JTs bottom out and you have not helped us get a fix yet and it’s been several months.

Good luck. I drive them roads every day and try to make a mental note of where they are. New ones seem to creep up every day. Tennessee used to have some of the best roads in the country, not any more.

I just moved here last August and I had heard they were bad but when I got here i didn't really notice any major issues. Then it seems like after we got that big snow this year the roads just look like land mines went off every 20 feet.
