Pinion & carrier bearings? Need a better description for a better diagnosis

Yeah, I have a noisy rear, too. It stinks, sometimes.

When im going down the road between 40 to 50 miles an hour the hole truck starts to shimmy or shake. it also makes a rumbling sound. If i get on the gas the noise starts to go away. If I let off and then get back on the gas again it starts to come back again. Once over 50 miles an hour it does not do it anymore.

Was also wondering if its possable to put in a brand new 29 spline 96 cherokee rear axle assembly in to replace.The 95 cherokee chrysler 8.25 that is in it now.

yes it is but you will have to replace the carrier with one for a 29 spline....

drive shaft u joints are good so that narrows it down tothe rear

I have also encountered the same problem. I just replaced the rear end with the stock set up (8.25) and the truck is a 95' and the rear end came out of a 99. I don't have the noise but I do have the shimmy. I just replaced the rear u-joint as well.

The 8.25 rear on my 95 has been noisy since I got it. I got it at 110 thousand miles, now it's at 263. I stopped worrying.
