Found the spare tire holder filled with water! Assuming this must be a failed rear aperture seal... The headlining seems dry so probably not sunroof related. It as parked nose up on a hill and of course it rained heavily recently.

Anyone else had this happen? I see the seal on AB for $179, Still have to do the over the pond research to see if there is a better deal to be had.

98 P38 Anniversary edition.

Update... not quite as easy as finding something on a DII but found a TSB on this and applied the 5mm bend the flange fix. will try the baby powder next to see if any further leakage.

After hearing some truly disturbing pinging and grinding sounds from under my wife's 2000 P38, I drove carefully to the nearest parts store for some emergency driveshaft greasing supplies. Unfortunately we were two hours from home and had to cross our fingers that nothing would break loose before we got there. When we got back, I dropped the front driveshaft and replaced both u joints with Moog 344's (anyone know if these are any good?). One of the old needle bearings was entirely shot, leaving a lot of play in the transfer case side u joint.




Old needle bearing in good shape



Destroyed needle bearing

I was doing a little work (sealing up the sunroof) and noticed these fuses and what might be altered wiring under the passenger seat. Can anyone tell me if this is factory?

+1..... 100% NOT Factory. Just looks something like a Pico weatherproof fuse holder.

I noticed the bump stops look like there’s holes in them?! I’m assuming mine are trashed?

I guess I’m the only one working on my p38. Lol. Finally got some time to do the brakes. I cheaper out on the rear rotors and just sanded them down. Hopefully no vibes. Just loaded with rust from sitting mostly
