Whatever

Hmmm..

First, you are positive it's not coming from the wheel hubs right?

Second, just hang in there I'm going somewhere with this one. Stock gears? What size tires?

 

I'm not positive where the axle ends inside the diff or if it causes something to spin past the needle bearings. In 2wd the front diff gears dont move though.

 

I put the stethoscope to the driver side wheel hub it sounded fine. I believe its stock gear I bought it used, I have 17"rim's

 

@Empty_Lord
Wake up!

 

What size tires?

 

Not the passenger side?

 

Sorry I replaced the passenger side. Not the driver side. I put the scope to the driver side and it sou ded ok.. no play either

 

Not sure exactly

 

You lifted?

 

Yea I believe 2"

 

Would your tires fit without the lift?

 

Maybe. But it would be tight. Il go take a picture

 

@Acstaples88 I'm not educated enough on the internals, but the ring and pinion gears dont move in 2wd. I picture the axles spinning in the needle bearings, but I'm not sure something else doesnt move past that.

 

Look at tire, 285/70, etc..

 

Past the needle bearing is the spider gear than rack and pinion. On driver side. But I replaced the needle bearing for the bushing

 

That is the tire size

 

285/70/17 so 33s
Bigger tires with lift


First, I still think you need to confirm it is the front diff.

But if you confirm that. You are probably running stock gears. One advantage out of this shit if it is the diff is you could get regeared to a ratio better for your larger tires. EcGS sells diffs with the gear ratio and you send back cores for 400 each or so. But you would have to do both front and rear. They have a 15% off moving sale right now.

Trying to show a positive if so. Still need a 100% confirmation though.

 

Spiders gears move in 2wd?
