Boltjd Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hey all, I just spent a good amount of time installing new ball joints, hub/bearing assembly, axle u-joints, and steering linkage (Rough Country HD Upgrade). After putting everything back together, I got in and put it into first, and the truck does not seem to want to move forward. There is a grinding sound coming from the front axle/differential and it seems to be seizing. Please help me troubleshoot this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Recheck what you did. Balljoints sometimes make contact with axle shaft ujoint. Double check what you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Did you pull the cover by chance to ensure all is well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzimm Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I would jack the front end up and spin everything by hand to see if it spins freely. Check each thing you did, one at a time and examine really closely, especially for differences between the sides. With that much binding I would imagine you'd hear/see it when turning by hand. If you can't find it outside the diff, pull the diff cover and do an inspection inside there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
