Calling All Axle Pros: What Is Going On With This Front Axle Leak?

2015 JKU with Dana 30 on the front. Replaced ball joints and axle seals about 18 months (and maybe 20k miles) ago. 220k miles total on Jeep.

I have a gear oil leak on the passenger side. Replaced my breather tube last night, but still have a leak this morning after a drive. I took a close look at the axle openings, and noticed something amiss on the passenger side. Right behind the flanged cap at the end of the axle, there seems to be a plastic or rubber ring that seems crooked and out of place? If you see the picture of the drivers side, you'll see no ring behind that flanged piece.

I suspect this may be a reason why I'm still leaking gear oil. Does anyone know what's going on here? I know little about axles so I'm not sure where to start with this.

Thank you!

Hard hit on the rear coming down a rock

I was coming down a rocky ledge off-road and the rear end came down pretty hard (note that the hitch was actually already slightly bent from a previous hit)

Now my factory rear bumper is sitting crooked/pushed up slightly.

Looking under the Jeep I dont see any obvious impact point anywhere.

A few questions for those who've bashed their rear ends on the trails:

  1. How likely is it that I actually bent the frame, versus just pushing the plastic bumper out of alignment?

  2. What's the best way to verify frame straightness at home before I tear off the bumper to inspect?

Appreciate the insight!

Shocks

Took my ride up Red Cone pass today and it's become apparent I need new shocks, so I'm soliciting y'alls input on decent ones. I have a 23 JLUR with the Extreme Recon package for reference

It's Over!!

Sorry - just so happy. Wrangler 4xe is gone. 4 year lease. Towed multiple times, left stranded, couldn't drive with newborn as it shut down on us previously as was unsafe. Just went through final inspection and all good. No extra fees. Went back with like 35,000km on it. Warranty had expired to so owning it the last year was like Russian roulette.

Crazy I still see people saying they want to buy one. I've been trying to warn others.

2016 Front driveshaft

Does anyone have experience with Mammoth HD front driveshafts? I've got a 2016 JK with 2-1/2" lift running 33s, don't do any wild offroading. Needing to replace the front driveshaft and trying to decide if the Adams 1310 is worth the extra $200 in my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

August Twelve4Twelve -- Black Bear Edition?

What are your thoughts on tomorrows twelve 4 twelve drop? I'm thinking it's going to be a Black Bear Edition or something similar, something inspired by Black Bear Pass.

My second guess is a Big Bear Edition but I'm leaning more towards the Black Bear, with the "rocky" hint.

Just got my lifted 2015 JKU aligned for the first time in forever. How's the diagram look?

35" AT's, 3.5" lift. Anything stick out based on what they did? Took about twenty minutes to do the alignment.

Let me know if I need to provide more info...thank you!

Need new shocks.

My front passenger side lower bushing has left the building on my 2017 JKU. It's a Rancho RS999326 shock.

I called Rancho and they said the bushing isn't replaceable????

I guess I'll need to buy a new shock (might as well replace both).

Is there anything else I should consider? Need to go ahead and order these ASAP.
