Well after getting back from this weekend in Alto my rear axle started squeaking. It sounds like it is comming from the driverside rear.
I thought it was mud in the drums so I cleaned them out when I washed the jeep.
I checked the diff fluid and it was a little low, only 1/2 quart so I added some more.
Then I checked the wheel bearing and they looked fine so now I don't know what it might be but it is definetly not good. Anyone got any ideas?

If you saw how schwecked up his rear driveshaft got when the coil popped out, the u-joint or CV is deffinately a god choice...

yeah that is what I was thinking too. after I got underthere and investigated/ greased everything I noticed that you could see where the CV/ ujoints bound up. Making me think that doug might be right

schwecked...I like that. New word for the vocabulary. Now I have a new sentence. "Krebs blazer is schwecked up like a refugee's checkbook" Sweeticles!

Jerry I think my bike "kristi" is more appropriate for the new vocab word.
