Seems to be oil seeping past the gasket, nothing major unless it’s leaving puddles. Check the torque on em, leaking cover or pinion seal could indicate breather tube is plugged and theres pressure building in the axle housing and the weakest seal leaks first. If it’s torqued proper and not...

Wow If they would have told me they were denying a warranty claim from that I might have lost it to be honest. I’ve personally never had a vehicle at the dealer for anything warranty related so I don’t know the process and frustration thats involved but damn if that isn’t some lazy, incompetent...

I wouldn’t worry too much, as much stress as it is(im assuming stress levels here as i own a JK) but a lot of people here view things differently. If you could provide pictures of the dust here on the forum then a lot of people would angrily not post the useless crap they post. One dealership is...

How many times is to many though? I wouldn’t think pumping the brake 100 times would make it fail or act like brake fade if the engine is running and the vehicle is sitting, if there’s vacuum for the booster it should provide braking.

No one here has “extensive education and training in the field” on the JL when 90% of the dealership techs don’t know their head from their ass with the JL , the forum is nothing but a giant think tank to unsolved and repeating issues with this particular Wrangler. Everything here is an opinion...

My god, nerubi maybe there’s some people who bought a Jeep wrangler that aren’t FCA ba11 lickers. You bring absolutely NOTHING to the table to converse about in all the threads you post in other than blame another brand about their issues....but this in infact a JL wrangler forum under the...

Ok.....Cool? Does he put thousands of miles on these JL’s to get a good baseline on quality? From the plant door to the parking lot 100ft away doesn’t amount to much, I wouldn’t think. Does he take them around the test track once leaving the plant or something? If I worked at a bolt...

Nice! You proved a valid point that everyone already knew from numerous discussions already present in this thread. Again, I don’t know why yall are focused on Ford products when this is a Jeep forum. Ok, so I guess maybe not everyone coming to this thread might not understand that every...

I’m not the one comparing buying a F150 to a JL or wrangler....nor did I even think a comparison would be in the deck of cards lol. I agree about FCA needing to invest a lot to fix their steering issues immediately, I’m glad no one has been hurt or killed from the issues but it feels like their...

Ok before this keeps getting off the rails, 300-400 only reported? How many aren’t reporting and think it just a Jeep thing? Probably more than the 300-400 your claiming. FCA has multiple parts for steering boxes and steering components as their improving the subpar components they engineered...

Idk maybe it’s just me but 10’s of thousands of JLs???? Lol It’s up to the buyer to put down their hard earned cash for something that might not be worth their hard earned cash(sure as hell not mine). OP sorry this got derailed, if you like those yotas i’de say stay over there until the JL is...

Case in point Ford RECALLED those vehicles before millions of vehicles caused deaths, FCA has yet to recall. Thats why people buy Fords and keep the F150 on top. FCA has the responsibility to fix these deal breaking issues. But I guess no one really knows how bad/frustrating it is until it...

I mean....not really lol. All the solid axle vehicles i’ve owned never had death wobble. 1979 Ford Bronco with 6” lift and 36” super swamper TSLs never have death wobble(dana 44), 2000 F250 super duty 4” lift 35” BFGs never had death wobble(Dana 50), my current JK doesn’t have death wobble(Dana...

If I really wanted a JL I would personally wait, their going to be making them every day for years. I’m not even going to take the chance with these headaches others are having. Major issues like steering lock up death wobble service “insert literally anything related to the JL” really weak...

Your description suggests that the noise is coming from something that is rotating. 1. Tires 2. Driveshafts Is it front or rear? Left/right? Check your tires and remove any rocks or debris, when your done with that check them again.(methodically) After that check your driveshafts, something...

What your feeling are the axle shaft ujoints binding. What your JL has is a live front solid axle, it is highly frowned upon to use 4HI or 4 Low on dry sticky surfaces (pavement/concrete/asphalt) or you will damage the the front axle(shafts/ujoints/differential carrier). During inclement...

There might be a few nuts and bolts that carry over from JK to JL and vise versa but thats about it. Is it so intermittent that you never know when it going to happen or does it usually do it on the morning drive(from sitting awhile and cold) or later in the day(after driving for awhile?) Did...

Wow that looks really bad(to me). Can you get video of the other end and do the same thing to get an idea what the tierod on the knuckle is doing? It doesn’t make a damn bit of sense for anyone thats worked on any form of steering system(especially a frigging dealership with “trained” techs) to...

Does the tierod at the knuckle on the draglink have movement up and down and an audible clunk/clink? Another user posted video of his literally moving 1/4” up and down by hand. Have you checked for play at the balljoints?

Nvm that is the draglink lmao
