Re: 93 With a front end noise from the 88-98 forum

One thing that happened to mine was one of the front axles slid out. I hit a little pot hole and it started thumping. Just check both sides of your of you diff to make sure that the axle is all the way against the housing. It can be easy to miss but if you looking for it you'll see it.
If it is not you can just slide it back in. But it won't go easy.What I had to do is: pull the wheel from whatever side you need to fix. I got a steel bar and a hammer and hit it in where the cv axle bolt are. You got to hit it pretty good and if it doesn't go turn the axle a little and try again until the splines are lined up. Just make sure to go all the way in so the seal seals and the clip can lock the axle.
If you've got your torsion bars cranked this can happen, especially the right side, because the cv axle have to stretch and they pull on the axles and the axles are made to just pull out.
