Need front axle info
I've got a 95 dodge ram 1500, 3:55 gears, dana 44 front axle, does anyone know if the axle shaft is always spinning on the drivers side and not on the passengers side when not in 4wd? i want to cut the axle shafts and drive for awhile like that until i find another axle. I'm looking for as much info as possible, thanks.

assuming you have some kind of damaged cad, or broken carrier or broken axle or some other carnage.... if you want to remove the axles and drive without them, then pull them out and remove the axle u-joints to separate the stub shaft from the inner section. then reinstall the stub shafts in the knuckle/bearings and plug the axle tube to keep out water and mud and keep the oil in. you'd also need to clean the axle tubes thoroughly or else your diff oil will pick up all the dirt in the tubes since you won't have a seal around the axle down deep in the tube.
why would you want to run w/o front axles?
