i think i broke something!

[B2Guy]

today a few of my friends and i all jumped in our vehicles and went wheelin. everything was going fine, it was a great day for wheelin. we were all at this rough real rocky spot and i was flexed out on the front pass side and my coil popped out... no problem, i got it back in after about 15 minutes of working on it... start going again and i notice this horrible grinding noise.

i pulled my pass side front wheel off and checked everything. its not a busted hub, started pulling my outer wheel bearings off and they're fine (before i started i noticed alot of play in the axle shaft when trying to move it around.) checked the u-joint and it looked fine... nothing rubbing on the rotor... any other suggestions?

Something may be damaged in the diff.

 

[B2Guy]

id does it worse when i turn pass side going down the rd. maybe the inner axle shaft bearing?

 

[country0001]

Did you check the other side?

 

[b2rich]

c-clip?

 

[B2Guy]

i think the c clip is fine. i havent checked it yet. will check it tomorrow. i didnt check the other side either only cause i was still on the trail and just wanted to get out of there after that point.

[B2Guy]

and yea i do need to get rid of it but thats not an option right now money wise.

 

[B2Guy]

ill keep this post updated with my findings tomorrow when im working on the pos d28.

anyone have a eb d44 they would like to donate? didnt think so...

 

[disciplerocks]

I have a complete dana 28 sitting in the yard taking up space if you want it. Needs pass. side axle shaft.

 

[88_Eddie]

yeah, i'll have a complete D28 as soon as i get my d35 in.....if you need a new pig, mine has 3.73's

Could it be the slip joint on the passenger side shaft?

 

[B2Guy]

Could it be the slip joint on the passenger side shaft?

it could be. im about to tear into everything. i forgot i did smell melting rubber on the way home from the trail which is only about 15 minutes from my driveway


disciple - what gears are in that 28?

 

[disciplerocks]

3.45, I was going to steal the calipers and brake pads since they are brand new and scrap the rest. You can have it all though if you wanna come up for it. Rotors are brand new too, I just can't use them on my D35.

I have those 4.10 gears sitting here too for the D28 and 7.5.

Edit: Sorry the calipers aren't new. The way I worded it sounds like they were.

let me take my d28 apart and see what I find. depending on the damage i may take you up on that offer and somehow come up with some extra cash for the 4.10's.

back to the grind... maybe i need some

 

[disciplerocks]

Lol just let me know. I'll make you a deal. I need a rear leaf spring hanger. Find me one of those, Let me keep the radius arms from the D28, and give me $100. I'll let you have both front and rear axles new brakes all around, hubs, and the 4.10s.

 

[B2Guy]

you need a stock hanger or what?

ill more than likely be taking you up on that deal. im starting on my extended ra's this week so i wont need the d28 stock arms.
