All 4 of your tires "exploded" all at once? That's basically impossible...

Were you doing 135mph for more than 10minutes?

I have more then one car and sometimes I would leave this one untouched for months so the sun damaged my tires really bad also those are the original tires that came with the car in 2005

sergiu

Exactly my stupid mistake can be a good lesson for everyone else

sergiu

Finally finished the quarter panel

Even at 10 years old, you might have one tire fail on you. All 4 tires at once, not a chance. Only times I've ever seen a car come in with 4 blown tires was due to an impact with something in the road or vandalism.

Glad you're getting it fixed up though.

sergiu

That's based on ur opinion I know what happened I was there I know I didn't hit anything other then that guard rail all 4 tires exploded one blew first then when I started swerving all over the place the others fallloed I'll try to post pics of tires all got cracks all over the place

How fast?

sergiu

110 maybe 120

That's still a little different than all 4 tires just suddenly exploding. One tire fails. Car starts swerving all over the place at excessive speeds. Other tires fail under the stress caused by the car swerving at excessive speeds.

Here's a video of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee failing the Swedish Moose Test. Later in the video, you can see tires blowing under the extreme stress of the vehicle loading too much weight on one corner while it is skidding. 7 brand new tires were blown during these tests. Is this a tire issue? No. The tires were never even questioned.


On a side note, this is why I always preach the importance of not going under the original tire load index specifications when replacing tires. These idiots around here with there underrated stretched tires will just look up the weight capacity of a tire, multiply it by 4 and assume it is okay since it is over the vehicle's curb weight. They don't take into account loading the vehicle and/or the amount of stress put on tires when the weight starts transferring during evasive maneuvering. Not calling you an idiot btw, sergiu.

sergiu

Well yeah I know there's a diff I never said they exploded all at once I just said they all exploded but i apologize about the misunderstanding

sergiu

Replacing the air back much harder then I thought

Keep your chin up sergiu! You're doing just fine.

Ok so as some of u know I just repaired my car and I had to replace rear subframe and differential well today I test drive the car and it seems it's driving only on front wheels when I looked under the car there seems to be some fluid leaking does anyone know y this is

oo7spy

Check and tighten the differential drain bolts (there are two) with a torque wrench to specification. After that, check your differential fluid levels (2) to see that they are filled to the bottom of the fill hole.

Did you get any SH-AWD errors?

a sensor broken/not push in completely?

Does the MID show the front drive only on the display?

sergiu

Yes it says check ur awd system and when I drive it just shows the front wheels pulling nothing going to the rear wheels

sOLLEx

What code are you getting on the navi screen?

sergiu

57

sergiu

Now I got a 42 code

sOLLEx

Check the wiring harness on the rear diff to make sure everything is plugged in securely. These are codes for opens in the right clutch coil and diff fluid temp sensor. Both are mounted in the diff and should be plugged up. BTW, did you figure out where the fluid is leaking from? I assume your using a used rear diff out of a junkyard?

sergiu

No I haven't figured it out yet I'll pick it up tomorrow and will see, and no I'm using off my other car it only has 75k miles

I think you are on the right track with sOLLEx, if its not that then you may have internal failure which is costly.

kudos to you for putting the car back together!

sergiu

The system was working good on the other car I'll check everything tomorrow to make sure everything is plugged up right I'll keep u posted

Thats why I think its a sensor, but with an impact like that you never know.
