Breather Hose?

[profdlp]

I come out of the movies Sunday night and am approaching the Jeep when I notice something dangling down at the front. (The front of the JEEP - watch your dirty mind.) Being the paranoid type, I figured someone had been messing with it.

In bright sunlight, it appears to be a breather hose from the front axle area.

This is the end that was hanging down below the front bumper:

The other end is the hose on the left running under the oil filter and it goes to the axle area:

Sooooo... Where is the loose end supposed to be attached?

I'm at work so I can't see the pics. The top part of that breather hose hangs on a point that is close to where the battery sits.

just push the plastic end through any bolts sticking out right below the battery area.

This. Yes it's your axle breather.

It's funny. I did the same thing when lifting mine. Came out to a parking lot to see a hose hanging down. We always forget the little things! :gr_grin:

Well, had it been left to me to do the whole job solo there would be a great many things like that.

Thank you for asking Prof! that hose originally sits on one of the studs for the strut but with a spacer plate on the stud is too short to grab that plastic fitting. Mine hasnt fallen down yet but it does fall off the stud and up until now I just keep putting it back there every time I have the hood open. Lol.

Yes everyone helped out, but I think you underestimate your capabilities!

Front axle vent- Discontinued part # 52104552AB could call the dealer & see what's up...
Or just check a junk yard, or another type of breather for the 5/16th hose.

You can replace it with this if you want

Amazon has them too but I'd rather support the local company.

I'm going to be moving my diff vents to the closed style. You can even mount it direct to the diff with a hose clamp.
