pinion bearings, and the carrier bearings might be peppered.

 

Have you checked your tire yet, I have seen it mentioned twice, I thought I was going to have to rebuild an axle but I just didn't notice the massive lump in my tire from a chord letting go.

 

i have no wheel hop.

 

you wont get wheel hop the bulge will push in and u will here the cords crunching making that sound of a card on a bike spoke

 

o wait u have a dana 35 with Detroit lockers? hmmm well it could have broke a clutch spring or a tooth could have shattered but to do that u really gotta be putting some tork down or hoppin the wheel. but it could also be a pinion bearing due to DL vibes which is also a big possibilty.

im a technician so im not just throwing bullcrap at you. try removing diff cover and see if u have metal shavings in your fluid thats should be the easiest way of telling a major problem

 

update: when the rear axle was rebuilt they used the wrong bolts. Instead of 7/16 they were 3/8 and not lock tite'd. The bolts im talking about are between the ring gear and carrier bearings. 3 of them completely sheared.

 

lol nice job

 

its nothing i could have controlled, it just happened.

 

i know its just funny it gave you such a run around you think that would make sum real crazy noises
