Strokermjcomanche Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Does it have a locker ? If not I would check the leaf spring bolts and bushings that go through the frame and the axle u bolts for tightness . Also check to make sure that you don't have a cracked leaf spring . If none of that works might be spider gears in the differential . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Check the lug nuts. Mine did this the other day. Daughters boyfriend had tightened that wheel back up after having it off several hundred miles ago while she was driving it. Neither of us rechecked it after a few days driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 by a locker, you mean a LSD diff correct? I don't think he does but i'll find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 No I mean a locker for offroading so both wheels are locked together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 by a locker, you mean a LSD diff correct? I don't think he does but i'll find out. No ( I will not speak for him but....) he means a locker look at the other two posts as well if the wheel lugs or the u-bolts are loose....you will get a thump/bump when turning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Had one years ago that did that - turned out to be worn out rear spring bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
