Why are they worried about rear axle failure? I doubt they’re lifting it. Granted, mine did go out when new but it’s my understanding that it was fairly rare and hadn’t been much of an issue since the 2020s.
My SWAG is possible the axle shaft leak or peeled cover and minimum maintenance. Vehicle driven many miles at slower speed not paying attention to grinding noise when out of gear oil from leak. One person had a failure of rear axle on their JLU that was bought to use as delivery vehicle, likely one of the same batch of axles and time frame. In my area the mail delivery people use a personal purchase vehicles. Most of them look like they have done most of the trails in MOAB or tested them as a rock bouncer.
Crunched bumpers, fenders ect.
