Awesome news, ya at least with tearing it right down, this make you more confident / and quicker for any future tear down,,,

As time goes on , lol in time you'll always have a seal here and there put aside, as soon as you think she's pererct ,lol a different seal goes,....

I just took a look at the photos, you do have rust pits in the raceway, Sometime you have time in the next year, I do recomend chaging the bearings

You are correct, but for now it is a hundred times smoother running than before I put in the shim you recommended. Which was just some scrap ducting I had. I need to order some shims, seals, and have a few wheel studs I would need to replace.


I need to do seals on the hubs and differential.... but first I want to do a fluid change on the other hubs and get a grocery list together.


I just spent close to two grand on the two Jeeps and have more work to do on them yet. And I need them to get to work to pay for the Humvee.....
