Mystery tube?

Post by dmtinker »

I can't tell what this tube is for. Passenger side rear. There isn't on one the other side. Trunk drain?

Differential vent tube. Should be connected to the axle I think

If memory serves, I think it actually connects to one of the axle tubes. Shouldn't be too far from where the hose ends.

This is correct. The nipple is on the passenger end of the axle near the suspension ubolt.
