when put my truck in 4x4 it hops a lot sometimes could it be my hubs. i heard before i could grease something to help it but dont remember what

 

its a dodge thing, they all do it specially when your turning or on pavement. there is nothign special you can grease, just keep all the nomals greased.

 

ok, wait a min. if you put your truck in 4wd. going stragiht it should not hop at all, unless you have two differant size tires, or differant gears front to rear. in which case it would just blow something ratehr then hop.

if your turning, then yes, it will hop as will any 4wd setup. SO, there is a leason to be learned here. DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUCK IN 4WD AND TURN ON PAVEMENT. it will snap axles of the weak *** dodge D44 we have. or it will snap the hub Ujoint.

 

no it just happens when i turn it and i got a dana 60 so is it because its a solid axle up front

 

It it supposed to hop in 4x4 while turning, unless on a slippery surface (mud, snow, etc.)..it's sometimes referred to as crow hop.

When a vehicle turns, each wheel rotates on a different radius to the turning circle, thus traveling at different distances and speeds. If the vehicle's front and rear axles are locked together and are turning on dry surfaces, the difference in wheel speed sometimes results in driveline binding that is released with a “bang” or vehicle “shudder” when one of the tires loses traction.

 

2K for the shafts?????????? better off buying a D60

 

They are for Dana 60

 

Sorry, everyone here is going to have a Dana 44 or 60. I was just assuming when I saw the 2500/3500 in the pic., that they were for the 60. They look nice regardless, just wish I had that kind of cash.

 

have 96 Ram 1500 Sport Dana 44- will be replacing the axle ujoints by the wheels -- should a person replace the hubs even if they look ok or is it waste of cash ($200) ? thanks

 

ZMAN good too see you ! how are you feeling ?
