Torquing the axle nut to the requisite 180+ ft. lbs?
yep i went by the book on it had it done by a shop first time and it ate it in 2 weeks got one from advanced it lasted a month before it went got one from napa lasted for about 4 to 5 tends to happen wene i have to lock in to 4 weel drive
Only other thing that I could see is an out of balance side axle . That's like a shot in the dark !
Im thinking youre probably on to something there.
OP are you on aftermarket rims? Or wheel spacers? When was alignment done last? Lets get easy stuff out of the way before digging in to much. Just for s&g can you post a pic of the front end OP? Maybe we'll see something sticking out.
I went through a few cheap ones on my Jeeps. Started running the Timken's and haven't had any problems.
When I replaced the ones on my '95 D2500 I used Tinken also, worth the extra cash for the piece of mind. (not to mention the down time and labor you put into changing them)
