Well, much to my dismay, I decided to check on one of my new tires to see if it was wearing as unevenly as my old ones, and I can see the uneven wear. I'm assuming it's out of alignment, but nobody will align it because A) I "need" new hub and bearing assemblies. or B) I'm "missing" a control arm(I've got a 3-link system.) Could it be something as simple as my toe-in needing adjustment? In addition to that crap, I've got some sort of problem in the area of my front driveshaft; it now sounds like a bad bearing type noise, may be the pinion bearing, maybe not. The noise is a constant rolling type noise when the driveshaft is in, and it's faint when the ds is out. When the driveshaft is out, it doesn't make a difference whether it's in 4 wheel drive or not, so I would think that rules out a problem with the transfer case. the driveshaft has a little play in it, but don't think it would cause the problem I'm having. So the consensus that it's something in the front diff.
So, should I just look for another d30 with 3.55 gears to throw under there? What are my options as far as a d44? I don't have a welder and I can't weld. I don't have the money to regear or upgrade both axles.. I just don't want to destroy these tires, they cost alot of money, and I'd like to have 4x4 on call, not just when when I need it and have time to put my ds in, especially with winter coming up(eventually..)
thanks for your help..
