Description and Operation
Rear Axle Vent Tube Filter
Description
The rear axle is specially equipped with a vent tube
filter to protect the axle from contaminants found in the
off-road environment. It is attached to a hose with a
vented cap at the end. The rear axle vent filter is
mounted near the top of the axle housing and the hose
is attached to the brake bracket on the driver’s side
frame rail.
The filter must be inspected occasionally to see if it
needs to be replaced. Refer to Owner Checks and
Services in Maintenance and Lubrication.
