What problems does your Jeep have this week?

Some major rain storm last night while I was asleep and no doors and only a safari top on. So now I have about an inch of standing water in the passenger side. Need to pull the carpet and find the drain plugs.

I have had death wobble a week ago so I tightened all the bolts and haven't had it come back but the last couple of days once in awhile when I turn left I hear a pop. Last night I found this? Should I just sand it to bare metal and weld it?

If you do, I recommend taking an angle grinder (or die grinder) and grind a groove into the crack. That way, when you weld, you can get better penetration on the crack, as well as digging out some of the apparent rust in there already.

I was getting a clicking sound in my front end when going over rough terrain today (actually it always has done this) and was wondering if anyone can venture a suggestion as to what it might be. All linkages seem property torqued. It does not happen while steering, just articulation. I am wondering if it is coming from the ends of the springs, like they are shifting. Any ideas? I know this is kind of asking the impossible but maybe someone has a easy answer. Seems minor but on the other hand things that move against each other wear out.

Hit sway bar and steering linkage with a dead blow hammer. See if you can duplicate it that way. Our JK was doing that and it was a bad sway bar link. Also check ball joints for play. You can also look for shiny spots on diff cover and steering linkage to see if parts are rubbing together.

After a day out I have gear oil leaking out of the tubes on the good ol D30 on my JKU. Both sides. Changed the fluid and leak seems to have slowed but is still present.

Really hoping it's just the inner seals. Not really sure what to think of both seals starting to leak at the same time though. Water getting inside the diff, clogged breather, or worst case a bent housing....

Not really sure where to go from here, I looked for broken welds and didn't see any.. Should I just use up a day and replace the inner seals and hope for the best? Any input would be much appreciated.

Cheers! [emoji481]

Both of my inner seals leaked at the same time before.
