As Ed B mentioned earlier I have thrown the code for this issue also, although we cycled the variocam and the code has not returned since but I am curious how many hours labor they quoted for this job... If/When I have to do it I can at least double (maybe triple) their estimate to know how long it will take me to do it Thanksby Ollie - Main Forum
Hard to tell how much I got just south of you- I have grass showing in places and 4 foot piles in others... That wind was nasty.by Ollie - Main Forum

I pulled the wheels last night and put my plumb bob (no comments please) in each hole and looked to see how the hole looked- I found several holes on 3 of the rims that were showing signs of egging- the wheel that had snapped lugs had 3 holes egging and I would say they ere the worst 3 of all the holes Time for new rims- luckily Wrangler rims are cheap (at least compared to Porsche rims)by Ollie - Main Forum
Hey Ed hows it going? They are getting seated- torqued them 3 times on ride home from Manchester Airport Thursday...I m at a loss right now on this.

Actually the axels are in a housing, they are NOT exposed like the Boxstersby Ollie - Main Forum
if by half shafts you mean a passengers side and a seperate drivers side axle then yes (like our Boxsters)by Ollie - Main Forum
It is not a solid axle. Rear diff with mechanical limited slip. I have the diff opened up and see nothing wrong in thereby Ollie - Main Forum
If I had a really bad wheel bearing is is possible that I could have enough play/wobble to loosen up lug nuts? when I grab the rear tire I get motion like a bad wheel bearing... I am chasing an issue in my Wrangler but want to be at least 80% sure of cause before I rip out the rear axles...by Ollie - Main Forum
