No I do all this crap on my lunch break and stuff soo its kinda hard. So drum breaks stick and you sont think the bearings the problem. So what about the idle speed I feel it limp down the road. This is at like less then 5 mph

Bent axle shaft , bad bearing or a messed up drive shaft. Its one of the three. You need a new axel bearing on the passenger side anyways...so replace that and check out the axel shaft while you're at it. Might as well do both at the same time. Replace them, check the axel shafts and if they're good your driveshaft is messed up

you have to pull off your diff cover and pull the c-clip and then pull the axle out slowly so the spider gears dont fall out.
then you'll need a blind hole puller proilly and a slide hammer to get the bearing out put new one in and then check the axle for straightness

So your saying just get a new axle? And I know what everyone is talking about I just never have time to actually go out and do it. I have work and school 5 days a week so I'm very busy. I try and do what I can on here so when I do have time I can go right out and do what I can. Also its my DD so it can't be out of use very long.
