MommaBearOf3 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Does the 2013 Dodge journey SXT have the rear axle viscious part? I believe mine may be going bad, I'm not sure how to pin point it to what part it could actually be. I had it looked at, and all he said really was he knew for sure my rear differential was bad. When you make a turn left or right, it makes a pop, creeking noise & now it's jolting in the back kind of hard like 2 or 3 times when you first pull out.

John/Horace Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Welcome to the site. Yes there is a coupling in the rear. Did he drain the diff oil and look for metal particles.? How many miles on vehicle? If you search this site, coupling can be changed by itself if it’s the only problem on the rear diff. Driving it the way it is can damage components. A shop could remove the rear drive shaft temporarily so car can still be safely driven temporarily. Dealer will probably refuse to because it’s not very profitable. Save the drive shaft, $700-800 to replace. AWD repairs can be very pricy. People often have shops use parts from auto recyclers/wreckers. Look for a transmission or 4x4 repair shop if possible. Not really a mini lube mechanic repair job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
