axle question

[bubba]

I had my Jk up in the air today , and when I spun the rear wheel I could hear grit moving around . I might need to do a seal replacment . Is this a tough job? I don't want to have to bring it to the dealership.
Thanks, Steve.

sounds like a backing plate rubbing or rust build up on the rotor contacting the caliper

you shouldn't have to replace a seal on an 07 already? if so it must be a bad one.

yeah its not leaking , just heard the grit and was thinking it sounded bad , I'll pull it apart this weekend and check it out , I'll remove the brake caliper and clean it as well . I'll keep you guys posted and thanks for the info

It's under warranty, just take it in, may just be some dirt from mud. if it's not leaking, the seal is still ok.

yeah , nice to have the warranty ,thanks. Hopefully I'll get another trouble free year of abuse on the trails.
