another issue... inner axle on 71 D44 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ok, i got my hub figured out, and test drove it and it makes much less noise than it did before, but now it sounds like theres noise coming from the drivers side. i looked at the u-joint and its moves from front to rear about 1/8"

its not the u-joint, it looks like the axle and stub axle are moving with it. are there more bearings inside the axle? like a rear has???

anyway, its a light "clunk" noise when i hit a bump, and isnt any louder or quiet when in 2wd or 4wd

im really getting tired of this... first the hub is bad, now this... and just when i really need the truck, first week of school, and the first snow of the

year
