    Real Upper Coil Spring Bucket

    Newer owner here. The images show my rear upper coil spring buckets. I understand they are very rusted, but I am wondering how safe or "correct" this is. How urgent is it that I get new buckets installed? Thanks

    My TJ makes a weird squeal sound when I turn left. Best I can describe it as is a clown horn, the one you squeeze. I recorded videos from underneath trying to locate if it’s front, back, left or right and nothing. I greased stuff, silicone sprayed and hose sprayed and test drove hoping to find...
