Is this what causes the axleshafts to turn when the hubs are unlocked?

Yes. The bearing seizes to the shaft. When you take the hub out and the joint still turns, you got problems. LOL

Ok. Someone was asking me that. My answer: "Something seized up" lol

I did say that it would involve pulling the front axle apart.

Ugh. Anybody use the Dorman shaft yet? I think my shaft was so grooved it tore up new bearing.

I don't even know what caused this to begin with....

DEEZUZ · Oct 15, 2014

Oh wait...

co04cobra · Oct 15, 2014

If the shaft is grooved at all it will take out a new bearing. However, shouldn't cause quite that...

Is the wheel missing? I can't tell what I'm looking at..

DEEZUZ · Oct 15, 2014

Lmao. Submerged in mud. Yea I gotta get this stuff done before winter. If the shaft took out the new inner I'll just order new shafts.

Inner hub bearing TIMKEM B2110

I would NOT run acdelco joints or anything other then spicer or ford. And there is not much difference in the price.

DEEZUZ · Oct 15, 2014

:whs: 20-30K miles max seems to be what I get out of anything not spicer.

So I took the whole drivers side apart over the weekend. The inner wheel bearing seems to be doing its job. The vacuum hub seal is all messed up. Went ahead and replaced the u joint for giggles but noise is still there and highway speed vibrations are not getting any better. Not sure where to go from here.

The shop was the least bit helpful. Got under my truck and checked everything. Noticed some movement in my rear driveshaft. Took it out and sent it out to a shop for a rebuild. Installed it last night and everything in the world is right again.

DEEZUZ · Nov 14, 2014

so the sound in the front is gone? and issue was the rear joint?

95powersmoker · Nov 14, 2014

I think the sound was coming from just below me at the center bearing in the driveline. When coming to a stop, it was bouncing around. It definitely sounded like it was more towards the front. But it's gone now. So pretty clear it was in that rear drive shaft. Shop said everything was worn.
