When I rebuilt my D44 in my CJ7 I picked up a great little trick from my buddy. No need to press the bearings on the axle shaft. Put them in a toaster oven for about 40 minutes and get them toasty hot. When you pull them out (with gloves on) and drop them down the axle shaft they will be so expanded they will go all the way into place and as they cool they tighten right up on the shaft. He's the head of a Cadillac Dealer repair shop in Michigan and that's how we put my axles together.

Any one ever try Overland driveshaft in Montville? They are in the same building as a trucking repair shop. I drive past there every day on my way home but never realized that they were a drive shaft place. I hear their advertisement on the radio all the time. Rt 163 in Montville on the left hand side. I can give some better directions or even stop in if anyone is interested, like I sadi its on my way home.

Overland is a really good shop. I have had some dealings with them in the past. The price is alittle high but averages out when you factor in shipping and the tech knowledge right down the road.

Axle:
It's not my steering wheel, it's the tires themselves. They are what is wobbleing, so it's an axle issue, not a steering one. I am going to have them rebalanced by a better shop. Hopefully that will help.
