So my truck started making a slight grinding/rubbing sound in front of the house, so I stopped at took a look at what it could be.
Finally realized that the front axle was almost loose where the diff seal is on the DRIVERS side.
Ordered a new diff seal, but it seems like it's the bearing as well? There seems to be quite a bit about diff seals and the passenger side/disconnect, but what about this?
I know for sure I'll need the diff seal, and most likely adjuster...but the bearing? I was able to pull part of it out, with the axle unfortunately.
Can I fix this without pulling the front diff?
Based on searching, it seems like there is an adjuster, bearing, and then the diff seal-in that order. Is that correct? There is a lot of play however, and am unsure what needs to be fixed.
