Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

I hear ya. it's a pretty long list of symptoms. going through all the trouble shooting has been almost impossible as up until now i couldn't even go much longer than an hour or two without needing her running. more of a living situation issue than anything. so... hesitation, poor acceleration, poor ...

Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

wish it was that simple. it's been noticeable enough while driving to cause me to look into it. i even checked the rear end to see if the parking brake was sticking. the rear spins rather smoothly compared to the front. would love a detailed list of front end driveline drag potentials and troublesho...

Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

to late...and still waiting for the other jack stand. it's apparently been lost. definitely drag when spinning the front tires off the ground. not the wheel bearings because i just replaced those (thanks to Roberts videos). so wondering what else can cause some drag in the front wheels. i was lookin...

Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

update::::::gear oil everywhere so i tried topping it off but it just leaked back out as though it was already full. down to just one jack though so it's not level. no idea what the difference is being held up from the driver side. but i guess theres a good amount of oil already in there. puts me ba...

Re: Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

less simple than rebuilding the carb?

Axle play at Front differential & bearing whine #%&*

sooo.... long story short. i just got done replacing my front wheel hub bearings and a warped rotor only to realize they weren't the cause of the bearing whine i'd been hearing lately. noticed play in my axle where it goes into the diff...and that the new axle i'd installed hadn't quite gone in all ...
