Hey guys.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I recently had my rear passenger axle replaced like hundreds of others. After that every time i go slowly over a bump or turn slowly i hear a little clunky rattle underneath.

My dealership is truly a poor experience, so I'm reaching out here first to see if ANYONE has a similar experience. I don't know where to really start looking / Haven't brought it back because it's not 100% of the time. I know my vehicle and I can hear it though. Love this truck. Wanna make sure it gets treated right.

Anything helps.

Thanks!

Bummer, dealers are the worst part of owning a Jeep.

I've had mine replaced 3 times. It has never rattled after the install. Take it back and have them fix it or find another deal.

A number of people have had axle shaft leaks, but with that the amount of them draws a lot of "News" just like the TV and papers "bad" news leads and sells. I'm not trying to marginalize it but the numbers sold vs ones with the problem(s) are a small percentage overall. But it's seems that some have been the "unlucky one's" and got bad replacement axles a few times too. Now there is and has been some lemons sent out, no doubt.
