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

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.

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.

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?

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?

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