Noisey D44?

[Cabz]

After in stalling my MJ d44 I have noticed that is seems to be kinda noisey,

 

I jacked it up and spun one of the rear tires by hand and noticed that I could here the spider gears just a clickin away. It is the same on both wheels ?. I had the diff opened up and everything looked fine.

it had no eccessive play, no chips or bad wear, But still when I turn the rear wheels ( by hand ) and also when I am slowing down while drivin it .

You will hear this clickin - :?

 

anyone one have any idea what could cause this?

By the way this is a Trac locl LS D44

Sounds like it might be bad bearings :shock: :( I don't know if you removed the shafts and mixed them up, but they are slightly different in length.

The bearings look fine I chnaged out one shaft from anothe D44 and from the same side.

 

The Dana web site says both shafts are the same length, Same part number for both.

Some of the older 44 LS just make noise. I one I have for the J-10 does the same thing. Did you check the R&P backlash? Throw some die on the teeth and make sure you have a good pattern.
