What did you do to your jeep today?

I think I pinpointed the whirring noise, and it seems to be coming from the rear end. I’ll be checking/changing the fluid and going from there.

It works but its very aggressive, wouldn't recommend it if other derust products are available, very glad I greased the bits I didn't want the acid in contact with, it ate into any exposed metal. Stripped the rust off nicely but the Stripped steel flash rusts almost instantly when you remove it from the liquid.

Quick hit with a wirebrush and epoxy primer to follow.

evapo-rust works really well when you can let parts sit for a while.
not exactly cheap, but biodegradable and reusable, until it's all used up obviously.
I'd eastwood platinum rust converter them personally, after dipping them like that.

I'd have use devapo-rust if I had some its good stuff, Unfortunately I didn't plan ahead and they were a lot more rusty than I thought, I was just going to use a wire wheel but that wouldn't touch the rust on them!
They are sitting in primer at the moment, 20 years of salt haven't been kind but they are still serviceable so tomorrow they will get a coat of satin black & the whole lot will get chassis wax when it goes together.
Happily the rest of the suspension isn't that bad and the arches and wheel wells are sound.
