99 Dakota 4x4 Front axle
I don't know what axle is in this truck. Can someone fill me in?
I took off the cover and didn't notice any numbers. I got issues with it. With the front shaft off , if you grab the yoke and turn it hard to the right there is some noise like a little slip before it grabs. Yoke has a little play when wiggled. Looking in the gearbox, the gears look ok I don't see any real wear on the gears. Even the pinion attached to the yoke looks like it is ok. Could the problem just be the bearing that holds the yoke?
I do need to know what case this is first. What were the options on the 99 dakota. Mine has the V6.
