Have read that you can get rebuild kits for these, but someone with more knowledge than myself will hopefully chip in.
every 50,000 kilometers

and its a fussy beast when it comes to oil, use only Mopar oil that meets MS9224 part number 04874464

the OP's bearings are probably starting to pack up, possibly caused by being in too high a gear when towing. load is what kills bearings rather than speed
