Hey folks, fairly new to this, but im in the mist of some axle issues, my rig is a 98 xj sport,4L with 231 tc 4.5 RC (short arm) lift chrysler 8.25 in rear hp d30 in the front 3:55 gears, running 31`s, no further mods as of yet. I thought for the longest time i had a bad pinion bearing in the d30, it sounds like rotational metal grind, that seems to be grinding its hardest when i decelerate, high pitched grinding when at speeds 30 and higher.. there is no play up and down at the yoke but rotational play bout half an inch or so.. so if im thinking instead of rebuilding the whole diff shouldnt i get a axle from a used parts store for $200, i have a mechanic doing the work so im trying to get away as cheap as possible as money is hard to come by these days! also, i need an opinion on weather or not i should regear to 4:10`s? thanks in advance for the help!
