The Mud Pit > Wrenching

front axle may or may not be blown.

<< < (2/3) > >>

skibum:
Just take a close look at the u joints first before you remove the diff cover. Look for signs of rust where u joint cap seals are. Also grab the inner shaft side of u joint & turn back & forth to see if there is play in the u joint. If you do end up removing an axel shaft it's a good idea to jack up 1 side of the axel at a time & spray water into the low side of axel tube to clean any mud & debris from tube. You would be supprised on how much dirt gets trapped in there. This is a good idea so when your reinstalling the axel shaft you don't push that dirt into the diff.

believe it or not it was my drive shaft, my front drive shaft is a CV? i think correct me if im wrong, at the transfercase it has two ujoints and a joint, anywho that joint literally exploded...

and now here is a picture i have provided for you ( ill put up a video later to illustrate it more)

U can get just the center ball from napa I think it's like $80.

zjchef25:
yea that center ball should be enclosed... the enclosure exploded off of the drive shaft lol

Flex:
well at least it wasnt a carrier bearing or something else in the diff.
