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.

do th job yourself.. it isnt that hard... and you can clean/grease CV while your at it... doing both sides will take a day.

if you have air tools and hook into it you can smash it in half a day.

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.
