so this morning i let my buddy drive my truck around. hes driven it before and had no trouble and knew what to do and what not to do. but this time i guess not... because he rolled up with my front end clunking and a hole ripped in the down pipe.
i removed the front driveshaft and thats when i noticed my lower left control arm mount on the axle was hanging on by a tack weld basically.
the clunking didnt go away so im pretty sure that my front ring and pinion is shredded.
and to top it all off on the way back from jv my right rear tire exploded.
so i have a couple of options:
i can take out a loan and buy a whole new front 44 with gears locker etc...
i can get new control arm mounts and new ring and pinion...(i dont have a welder)
im just looking for some advice from some more experienced people.
thank you
