Damnit!! i was actaully gunna do them too. Now i knew the slip yoke on my front d-shaft had some play to it, causing the shaft to be a little outta balance so whenever i got to 60mph+ id feel it. above 70-75 was too much. when i was under the jeep yesterday, i noticed that i had a little bit of play at the yoke. jsut pulled the d-shaft now and give it a look. there was a little bit of play side to side and in and out. threw the torque wrench on a found the nut to be a little loose (maybe 150-175#? compared to 210#). that helped a little bit but there is still the slightest bit of play. i went for a ride afterwards without the front d-shatf and OMG what i difference. the jeep is like glass up to 85+. i blame the d-shaft for eating my pinion bearings.


so it looks like ill do new pinion bearings in the front end now.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i dont really mind doing it, i could tear it apart and do it in a day with a long night and beer. ill drop the carrier and pound out the pinion, use the same shims and just swap the bearings and bamo


ill do this after the Anti-V day run

Hmm, well that is the limit of my mechanical advice.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

hmm. i've heard you can change carrier bearings without resetting it. is the same true for the pinion bearing?

If that's the case then as long as you're not changing out the ring and pinion then you don't have to reset everything? So then I could essentially rebuild and axle with basic tools so long as I keep the same R & P? Didn't think it was that way but?

now that I know how cheap that was I'm tempted to do it myself.
