I don't think the ten Factory chromoly axles I just put in can handle that. Oh and when ya hear the ole squeek squeek squeek and ya see the calipers whobble back n forth, ya don't have long before you will hear the ole wheel bearing growl. I heard it yesterday (they don't last long after ya start to hear that) and it was a good thing I replaced everything this morning. No more wheel bearing growl.

Sounds like I need to do mine... I've been afraid to pull my wheel and check it but im pretty sure I've bent my 3rd one. I don't think ill be able to get this one covered under warranty .

No need to pull tire, jus jack up cener of pumkin, block front wheels, Start it up and put it in 1st gear and watch the back calipers for side to side movement, or if you come to a stop sign you will hear the squeekin as you put on the brake. THere will be a definate squeek squeek squeek as you come to a stop, and if left long enough you will hear the growl that will go through the entire jeep, like a vibration low rumble growl, thats the bearings themselves viberating and eating themselves up. Like I said ya don't have long after you hear that and a bearing will let go and can take out the axle shaft or axle housing if you get a sezz up of the bearing itself, Then your really up the creek.
