So here's the story.. I wheel my jeep fairly hard but not extreme.. and I go out often to an area close by called the Rio Puerco, which gives you mild to wild,,,,
been to moab twice nothing really hard.. and a lot of trips to Colorado and a few trips to Arizona.. which are all on the easy to moderate ratings... more of the scenic trails then difficult....
But then there's rock crawling.... which I would say is a totally different animal. other then some rock stuff here and there on the normal trials I have done three trails that are constant rock crawling, two times on a trail north of Albuquerque (just outside of Santa Fe) called Tank trap, (now closed) which I did twice early and middle of last year, and once to a trail south of Albuquerque called Gordy's Hill.
these trail had a lot of rocks and where rated as difficult with a minimum (or ideal min) requirements of I would say 33's and 2" lift with skid plates. Good driving and spotting would be required with anything less.... IMO
So after Gordy's Hill driving back on I-25 I hear a squeaking sound which goes away after maybe 10-15 miles.... at least so I thought.. it returns only when breaking and turning towards the left..... I can not say I know when this happened... other then it appeared after Gordy's Hill, (and we didn't even do the so called hard stuff,, 34-35's needed)
It's being repaired under warranty, I got lucky
although I believe I will be upgrading to Chromoly as soon as I can and keep the OEM ones for spares.
here's is the video of my problem.....
