Are you sure it's the axles? They're on there pretty good.

Not sure sounds like the rear driveshaft is making the noise every time I let go of the gas and press it again at low speeds

You might check the thread I’ve linked here. Some Dana 44s (M220) axles knock and need evaluation.

See post 21 and 38, they describe similar sounds.

My JL is at the dealer as we speak. After going round and round with them, they told me today that they ordered new bearings for the rear axle.
There is a problem!!!!! I have the Dana44 with the LSD.

JeepCares…..Does not Care!

They are continuously denying the fact that my Wrangler has a Steering/Wandering issue although thousands of Jeep Wrangler JL owners like myself have the same issue.

Good Luck!

Are you guys on the factory fill for rear diff fluid?

Definitely follow the Knock in rear with DANA 44 thread. Been waiting almost two months for the bearings, was initially given two weeks! The distributor keeps pushing the delivery date. Also been waiting over 30 days for new drag link. I'm sick of parts not being readily available! I doubt this will fix it. Others had bits and pieces replaced in the axle, still problems. The only true fix seems to be a whole new rear axle replacement.

Five miles after they installed new bearings in my rear axle.....
Already knocking again.

I'm having the same problem and I'm wondering if Jeep will cover the cost of a rental?

Hi Cbenson39,

Loaners are handled at the dealer level and are provided based on availability. However, if you're in warranty and end up renting a vehicle, we can look into reimbursement options. Send me a direct message if you plan to visit the dealer as I'd be glad to escalate a case on your behalf.

make them replace it with the rubi rear 44 with the e locker for free. 30 days is way to long for warranty work
