hey guys. got a third member from buddy whith about 500 miles, about half of those offroad. I was very upset when I figured out that the guy (the local jeep guru mechanic/builder) who installed d44 and 9" axles, gears and such under his jeep just used the stock jeep driveshaft without any mods. so at ride height the driveshaft was fully compressed. had to loosen the rear axle to get the driveshaft loose to remove the third member.. anyway the point of the story.
the pinion moves in and out about 1/2 inch or so. gears look ok from what I can tell. any thought as to what I should replace. I figure I will have to get all new bearings and setup. or do you think it is possible to just replace the pinion bearings, crush sleve and seal? will the crush sleve colapse that far from that kind of pressure causing the slack that I have? thanks guys
