[TJ-JeepersCreepers]

Tyre and axle come of down the road the quote says the standard flares are $680! I found good aftermarket ones for 350 and needs;
Axle
Brakes
Backing plate
Bearings
Seal
And a full set of flares they coulda just got a shit one of eBay I wouldn't care I hit them all the time

[TJ-JeepersCreepers]

They axle didn't like the diff apparently and decided to go its separate way down the highway taking the wheel and brake drum with it

If you are comfortable payin that go for it, but to me it is pure and simple ass-rape, you are only a young bloke but you must be earnin a shitload more than me to afford that. Your Jeep is gunna break sometime so i reckon find a good mechanic or start doin some of the stuff yourself.
FYI had exactly the same thing happen to me .

Axle $50
pads/wheel cyl. $100
Backing plate $20
Bearings and seal kit $50
My Labour 6 pack

[TJ-JeepersCreepers]

Yeah I know they having a go at me but I don't have time to fix it the only reason I can pay it is because I'm always working

[TJ-JeepersCreepers]

well the seal went again but the axle didn't fall out this time I even cleaned the diff breathers what is going on?

[Jonesy]

I know how to fix ya problem....get rid of the metro-sexual yuppie beer

[Tallpieman]

I used this on my seals.
