Not absolutely sure what problem is, but believed to be rear differential. Leaking between back wheels at standstill. Lately, clunking, popping, other noises coming from front/ gas pedal/ and can feel it in the steering wheel when you gas, brake, stop, go, accelerate, etc. Almost like a clunk in the bottom of the steering wheel. Feels "not normal" for 4wd sport utility. Also squeels & the exhaust is loose. JUNK!
