Good morning all... Have a weird one for you all. Sorry if this is wrong section to post.
2024 JLU Rubicon 3.6 non-etorque 3 1/2" lift on 37's
I was out in Moab a couple weeks ago. While out on the trails in 4 low anytime I would go over a rock or a little drop the rear end would create this loud (almost violent) "THUD". Like the rear tires tires would come over the rock or small drop and be bound and release. Then THUD when they "landed"
At the house that evening I jacked up the rear end with both rear wheels off the ground and trying various different combos of the transmission and transfer case I was able to get an intermittent as I rotated one of the rear wheels brake grabbing. Almost ABS like.
THOROUGHLY checked all mechanical components and did not find anything like a brake grabbing or anything in the axle rotation causing it to bind or drag.
Disconnected the battery (No AUX) and let sit overnight. Reconnected next morning and same thing happening next day on trails again..
I'm convinced it's something computer related. But I can only imagine trying to explain this to a service writer as I'm sure I've done a terrible job here.
Has anyone had a THUD from rear wheels going over small bumps or the back side of a small rock?
