Just wanted to know how to add fluid to the rear axle 8.25, do you just pop out the rubber cap and put it back in? also, i have a poppin in the front left under my foot whenever i hit a bump and sometimes when i go in reverse and then stop. is it just a u-joint goin out?
 
Popping sounds like a loose trac bar. Check the bolts at the frame end to make sure they are tight. if they are check the axle side, if all is well with the trac bar, start checking for lose suspension components.
Just pop the plug on the rear end, fill till you see fluid coming out, re-plug. FYI, you should replace diff fluid around every 30000 miles.
 
thanks a lot man, your a jeep saver
 
check your lower control arms. sometimes the bolts work loose. I always feel it under my feet and it pops back and forth upon going forward or reverse
