Put the beast on jack stands to check out the 4x4 drive train.
Have replaced auto hubs with Manual. When in drive (2 0r 4) there is noise from rear. When stopped I can pull wheels out a little on both sides. Is this normal for wheels to move in and out a little? The wheels have no wobble as in the vertical just in and out toward differential.
On another note the push button control for transfer case, only the 4x4 high range button works but it only goes to low range. The low range button doesn't work.
I've replaced all bearings in the front hubs from the axle spindle bearing out. They seem to spin nicely but in 4x4 drive the left tire spins equally but then slows down and then just fidgets. This is at idle.
When off and in 2w how much free play rotation should the front driveshaft have?
Inherited this beast back from my son and I'm having to be a forensic mechanic to figure out what he and his buds did or didn't do. The son just put the key in and drove. Apparently they had a real good time.
Thanks for any info.
