What he said. I’m in the same boat as Ddays. I really don’t wheel that hard when I do go wheeling but I’ve still managed to bend 4 different rear chromoly shafts. All were upgraded and bigger and stronger than stock ones and they still some how got bent.^^ What BC said. Unfortunately, I have very much experience with bending shafts and yours sounds like a classic case. See diagram below. Where the red arrow is pointing is the general area that bends and the axle wobbles. Sometimes it's not even noticable and sometimes it will look like an old wagon wheel if you bend it bad enough. I've done both.

Anyone who has wheeled with me would tell you I don’t push my rig too hard. Sometimes shit just happens. Hope you get it figured out soon. Keep us posted

Radiator hoses, thermostat and coolant flush... It was a shit show. The good news is I don't have to clean my 5 gallon bucket because I didn't get a single drop of coolant in it.

On a serious note though, my petcock doesn't even drip when I open it. I tried blowing back through it with a airgun but nothing. Can the petcock be removed?

Can’t help you on the petcock, but I feel your pain. It’s a nasty job....Radiator houses, thermostat and coolant flush... It was a shit show. The good news is I don't have to clean my 5 gallon bucket because I didn't get a single drop of coolant in it.

My old radiator is still out in the shop, when I get home after a bit I’ll look at it. If not I wonder if you could fish a wire through it to try to clean it out.Radiator hoses, thermostat and coolant flush... It was a shit show.

That's a good idea. I appreciate the help. My old Cherokee you could just pull the whole petcock out. I'm not sure if the JK is the same but with all the plastic on the bottom of the radiator I didn't want to risk breaking it.

You can pull it out. Just grab it with pliers after it’s open and pull out while turning it some moe. Probably not the easiest thing to do while it’s in the Jeep.

Highly suggest never using the petcock on radiators. Something I learned the hard way on German cars. Theyre fragile, break, leak, the orings fail, sometimes wont engage all the way. It’s faster and easier to just pop the lower rad hose off.
