Jeep's 2024 Full Float Axle

[@joshuabaker5712]

This is exactly what i assumed when they announced it. Unit bearing on rear axles.

Nice video. My question is can you change to this style setup on an older JL/JLU M220,M210, axels

[@jasonlovell3934]

It would be interesting to see if this actually improves the strength of the axles. I also wonder if you could upsize this unit bearing design for larger axles.

My 1943 Ford GPW had a full floating rear axle!

Wondering if there is a conversion for 2022 JLUR? Could this hub assembly bolt onto older model housing. Bolt pattern looks similar.

Having had a shop for over 30 years and had more front and rear axle assembly’s part than I can count as I told an old customer at best it’s a Mickey Mouse full float. If I have to do anything more than than remove a few bolts and a drive flange to either tear down the center section or change an axle shaft it’s a very cheap imitation. Another example of Stellantis (Chrysler has very little if anything to say about what comes out of their assembly lines now) and )eep going cheap Charlie. Now that my rant is over you did an excellent job on exactly what’s going on with this axle assembly.

Did you happen to check spline count?

Can someone explain why this is disappointing? It's not a traditional full-float and you can't just slide out the axle but who is actually snapping axles often enough to make that a deal-breaker? Can't see a reason you couldn't pull this axle on a trail without much issue. A bolt on unit bearing should be plenty strong and a lot easier to replace than servicing an integrated bearing. The front wheel bearings seem to hold up fine so why would the rears be different. Finally, the lug pattern. This keeps the 5 on 5 lug pattern so all the rims stay the exact same as every other JK, JL, and JT ever made. To accommodate a traditional full-float hub they would have to change the front and rear lug pattern, use different rims, and then the full-float model is different to everything else out there. For this reason alone they were never going a traditional full float.

Since 1941 Jeep hasn’t been listening to its core users. Make you 😂

[@markgiles8527]

1 Tonne axle ona $98,000 (AUD) you thought. Come on, Pal You don’t get that on an almost $100,000 vehicle. 😂

This was another attempt to improve efficiency and it sounded attractive to the end users, as a "full float" 😑
