Re: Jeep rear end

what year is your jeep?
without knowing more info, my first two guesses would be either a stuck break, or a bad bearing.

Re: Jeep rear end

i drive a 01 wrangler and do you think that if i just replace the axle shafts that will fix my problems. i have replaced the driver side once because i broke it offroading and i have replaced all the axle bearing

Re: Jeep rear end

here's what I'd do,
with the rear tire off the ground, grab the tire at the 6-O-clock, and 12-O-clock positions, and try to move it. if there is a lot of movement, then you know that the bearings are worn out.
if there isn't any movement, then the bearings are probably ok.
after that, give the tire a spin, watch to make srue that it spins straight, if the axle shaft is bent, it will kind of wobble. and spinning the tire also lets you make sure that the breaks are not sticking.

hope this helps a little,
Keith
