Speaking of. Anyone used auto LYNX sway bar disconnects on theirs? I'm curious of a long term review of how they hold up

Now I know why people prefer rubicons lol

Well you got me paranoid now lol. Possible the dealer would have withheld telling me it chewed the pinion or ring up.

I asked about chunks and they said they didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The fluid I had for the rear was 75w 140 Valvoline. Had the additive in it but he said they still use the Mopar on top of it because there's usually not enough in it. Personally I wish I had gone with my gut...

Ironically I would have assumed it would be the dealership lol

So took it to the dealer. They said it was the additive broke down in the rear diff. Already had the fluid for both front and back and the additive. I was holding out because of what the other shop told me with them saying it was the rear axle bearing. These people supposedly work on jeeps all...

So took the jeep in to a local shop to get the whining when turning the wheels looked at. They said the sound was localized in the rear wheel axle bearing and suggesting a rear axle shaft replacement for both sides to fix. This shop works on a lot of jeeps around here so I'm trusting the...

I'm having something similar maybe? I'm new to jeep so still paranoid as fk. I took a video from underneath and it seemed more prominent. Mine is a 2021 with 54k on it. Not really getting worse but it's there. Just to double check, the power train covers this if there is an issue right. That's...

Oh yeah was definitely going to do myself. I think I'm afraid of finding metal in there which is why I've been holding off lol

It's limited slip track loc. I suspect fluid has not been changed. I had already bought fluid. The Valvoline with additive in it and bought some extra additive from Mopar. Specs say 75 85 for front and back with the back needing the additive. After reading in here I see where most do 75 140 in...

Would that also explain the chatter sometimes? And do you think this would rule out the rear diff?

Just checking back. To add more details to this, I thought it was whining when stopped. It wasn't. This only happens when the wheel is turned in either direction and I'm accelerating. I only notice this at low speeds. I verified by going around a turn, had my foot on the pedal and it started...

I'll check that tonite if it's not pouring

I've got Valvoline 75 95 for front and 75 140 for rear and it supposedly comes with the additive but I also bought a 4ounce bottle of the mopar just in case. It's been sitting in the rear seat for 2 weeks lol

Only thing is ball joints usually make a clunking noise when loose or wore out. I'll see if I can better get the chattering noise to capture tonite. So to you this does not seem like a diff issue?
