My buddy has an 03 TJR and sent me a photo and video of the factory Dana 44 in his Jeep leaking gear oil around the diff/axle tube mating surface. Since this axle doesn’t have inner axle seals what could be the problem? It’s trussed so I don’t think the tube separated from the housing. Maybe cracked? He has a receipt from the Previous owner of the Jeep for both rear axle shaft replacement, is it possible the tube cracked when the shaft broke?
As of right now it’s hard to tell if there’s anything else wrong with it because his axle is filthy and I’m deployed overseas so I can’t physically look at it. I told him to start looking for 1tons.
Any one have an idea what would have caused this or what he could do to fix it enough to drive it till he finds axles?
Also his rear coil springs look really messed up they don’t meat the coil perch properly. I’m guessing the control arms aren’t properly adjusted?
