Report #18Norlica60, 2003 Jeep Liberty, Automatic Transmission, 12,700 mi
Rookiei am having exactly the same problem, I already replaced the wheel bearings and the mechanic told me that my differential is out, that either get a new one or rebuild will fix the problem, he said it will cost between $850.00 to $1000.00 to fix this problem, he also said that the bearings in the differential need to be change, I found this cost extremely expensive, my speed sensor went bad, already replaced but my speedometer still not working, I noticed some like oil leaks from the differential. How expensive will be to fix this problem, what is the risk of me driving long distances? please help.
