    Both sides. Drivers was a little worse. 2 of the balls were wadded up scrap. Any tricks to check the housing? A shaft and a pilot in each end?

    Go to Timkin website and look at the bearing failure modes. They have good pics and describe what causes each type of failure. It will help you identify root cause.

  3. I see you are in illinois. Jim quinn at the chassis service in waukegan/ wadsworth area is a rear end expert. He has a jig to check straightness. He puts alot of strange engineerings rear ends together for them. He is a strange dealer. If its bent he can straighten it or whatever else it may need.
