I know y'all like pictures better, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Last couple thousand miles I noticed the right front tire wearing on the inside edge. Took a look and found this







You can swap in a new axle in a couple days right? Have the rest of today, tomorrow, and Friday to be done. Clock starts now I guess.

 

4-6hrs for the dana 44 swap out as it's light to move around, if it goes smooth that is. So what's going under it or are you fixing it?

 

Looks like you need ball joints or steering knuckles to me...

 

After some measurements, it looks like I bent the inner C on the axle housing. I could try and heat it up and bend it back, but I have a 60 sitting in the garage. It was supposed to be for my other truck, but.... just the excuse I needed. Let me dig it out.

*added*- the tire rocked back and forth a good 3 inches!

 

Jesus! Thats a bit of play! 60 will be a nice upgrade got a 60/70 for the rear to?

 

And the 60 is painted with what I had on the shelf

 

Unfortunately not, didnt really plan on doing this right now, and was waiting for a deal of the century on one!

 

Lookin good! And fair enough, just have to keep a eye out
Diffs same gears?

 

 

yes thankfully

going to get back to it.
