    Dropped the rear driveshaft so I could have the carrier bearing replaced, lock the hubs and kick her in 4hi.... Done it before on other vehicles... But


    This one feels weird. The diff still jerks back and forth in the turns. I don't remember ever feeling that before in other vehicles. I just want to rule out that something's not wrong with my front end. Drove it about ten miles today, straight road is fine, drove up to about 50mph. Sure it pulls a little to the right as I accelerate, but I figure it's just my alignment off.

    I also seem to have a lot of slop in my T-case or hubs when I step on it from a stop. Input please?

    Yeah, that's kinda what I figured it was honestly...but it just feels weird. It just never feels like the power is distributed evenly among the front. Can the front diff not manage this on its own like a rear diff can?


    I believe the front axle is a D60, open diff.
