Thank you. I will check that, change the bearings, and reshim to about 0.006

Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on troubleshooting a potentially bad gearing setup in my D30 axle. 4.56 G2 gears, Detroit TrueTrac. I have a weird rumble style vibration clearly noticeable at speeds above 40mph, and very slightly noticeable at 15mph and up. I have tried, but cannot get it...

Update: So I broke my breaker bar at the boneyard trying to pull the driver side shaft, went to Lowe's and grabbed another, broke that one too I left in frustration and ordered a fresh set of chromoly shafts and full circle clips. While it solved specific front end vibrations, apparently my...

I just swapped out the passenger axle shaft. Noise has been reduced by almost 80% and no longer sounds like it is coming from the passenger side, mostly right under my feet. My theory: I'm assuming when I busted out my rusty ujoints, I managed to slightly knock the axle shafts out of...

Running Falken MT/01s. I don't believe they are directional.

I did have a passenger confirm the front passenger side for the noise. No change with brakes, only speed and turning. I can't imagine it being something rubbing or flapping, there's not too much there besides the rotor and caliper. No dust shield or inner fender well. I jist picked up an...

Currently running no front driveshaft. Waiting for rear spacers to fit my 35s on and also did WJ rotor/caliper upgrade so my old 32s on 15s don't fit.

I'm positive the gears are set correctly and they have a good contact pattern. To cross the gears off the suspect list, my backlash was slliiightly changed when I redid the pinion, but the noise did not change at all. Gears are a G2 set. I also have a set in the rear 8.8 with no issues. I took a...

I actually just swapped on fresh treads today to test that. If you're referring to the axle hub bearing, yes. Brand new Timken units, and today I also swapped out the passenger side bearing to something different to check that as well. No difference with the tires and bearing.

1996 Jeep XJ Dana 30 reverse rotation axle. I recently did a front end regear (4.56) and installed a truetrac as well as upgrading to 35s. Did other small things like axle seals, hubs, and axle ujoints. I now have an obvious front end noise which sounds similar to a wheel bearing, but does...
