I was replaceing the rusted out muffler on the JK today and noticed my rear axle may be bent. Its a factory 44. The rosset welds look cracked and both sides of the housing are weeping oil. Everything drives fine though. I will see if my local shop can straighten it and install a truss befor it...
Just so I have this straight. Aluminum skids are too soft, which causes them to "grab" or stick. To avoid this, you buy steel skids since they don’t "grab" as much. Then, you cover the steel skids with plastic.
