I have been hearing this crazy popping noise which i think is coming from my 14 bolt. Every thing in the axle is new and i popped the diff cover off to check the gears and every thing looked good. I also jacked up the rear end and pulled the driveshaft to spin the pinion and it felt fine and wasnt making any noises. So this has me a little confused?
Well since i had it jacked up i decided to replace the driver's side wheel seal in the hub b/c it was leaking. So after i pulled the hub and changed out the seal i went to install the axle shaft again and i couldnt get it to sit flush with the hub. I figured that this what not good, but i wanted to try and lightly tap the axle in with a rubber mallet. When i did this i was able to get the axle all the way in, but it was sitting lower then the hub and i could not get the bolt holes to line up. So i was hoping some of you guys could help me figure out what is going on with my axle? I welded the carrier and everything is brand new, and it only has about 100-150 street miles on it. The popping noise would only happen when i would turn, but now when i take off it does it every time, and it is gradually getting worse? Also i dont even know what is going on with the axle shaft, and why its not lining up at all? Thanks for the help in advance.
