Baicly the tried and trued method embraced by many auto service techs. Ive done countless pinion seals and for that matter diff bearing replacements using this method. If installing new bearings i will use a new crush sleeve if provided, other wise, uncrush the old one a bit, tighen till the...

I missed you guys by 1 day last oct

With the 9" being and extremely popular axle in just about every forum of motor sports some one must have encountered this. You search the interwebz?

Dumb question BUT can you remove the crush sleave and reassemble to see IF you can achieve proper pinion bearing preload.( im not suggestion you run with out the crush sleave.) perhaps the pinion was machined wrong or maybe is just not compatable with your yoke(perhaps it a yoke that accepts a...

Im sorta of an outsider here, but what axle is this for.

Just save for long arms or ditch 2" of lift, 6" on short arms will ride like poo and have piss poor droop and geometry. Shouldnt need to weld with a bolt in LA kit from Rustys, Rough Country, IRO, Serious etc.....or get rock anchors ahem, control arm drop brackets.

Perhaps we should comment on our trip. In a nut shell it was freeking awesome. No issues on the 1500mile drive down trough the Colorado rockies and the scenery as we started to decent the rockies was gorgeous. As we passed GrandJunction we started to see what we came for, red rock! What a...
