BLHTAZ Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Take the diff cover off, turn the axles, turn the pinion and make sure everything operates as it should without binding and without too much play/slop. That's about all you can do ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You also want to make sure you have the correct gears in the front axle (D30 ) that match your rear axle (D35?) other wise you'll have a major problem with the T-case binding up, and blowing it up :eek: Also spent some time with the donor Axel, like BLHTAZ saids, open it up, and check all the bearings and seals, and it's a good idea to replace the seals at this time. Also check the ball joints, and just go thru the axle and make sure it's going to be trouble free after you install it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
