dana 30 problems
I have a Dana 30 with 3:55 gears and a lock rite locker in my 92 xj. Recently I developed a popping noise, like a u joint going bad. Constant popping that gets louder and quieter with speed. I've replaced everything in my front end besides internal components. Well today it developed into a bad metal on metal like sound with bad vibrations. Couldn't drive over 25. My question is, how do I know if is my locker and how do I know if Its my ring gears?

Bet you'll find more shavings if you look today. If it developed severely today then it should be slightly more obvious what parts are in need of replacing.

Thanks for the suggestions. Tomorrow I will strip my entire axle and check things out. I just put the fluid in like a week ago. Guess I gotta buy more.
