front diff rebild, and locker

Post by jbates58 »

hi all

latley i have noticed some oil on the passenger side, balljoint of the front diff. it also appears to be on the back of the shroud around the disc brake . i am also experencing what i think is the death wobble this has lead me to the asumption that my kingpins are worn. whatever they are(i am unsure). now, my question is, what do i need in order to rebuild the front diff to repair the leak. and are there any componants that are worth upgrading to stronger ones? like cv's and axels. i might also be putting a arb locker in the front (if the funds permit), since i can pull the diff out to rebuild it if need be, i have another vehicle, so its no prob if its out of action for a while. and how much will i be expecting to pay for things aswell.

cheers

look on ebay for a rebuild kit, i got one i think it was about $130.
the death wobble will be more like the panarm bush worn, put new rubber ones back in.

And someone to wash all the parts up while you keep working. If it wasn't for all the cleaning and regreasing the job would only take a few hours.
