My driveshaft bolts are almost completely backed out on the trans side I'm thinking due to the looseness of the u-joint and the vibration it's causing. They were lock tight in before I'm thinking by the previous owner for this specific reason

Where could I get them balanced?

Well I guess I kinda forgot on my rear driveshaft while I was replacing the u-joints I could literally remove the t-case side one with my hands because the holder is so worn. So.... That could be my problem?

Well I rebuilt it myself so I know I got it tight. Also there isn't really much noise it's all vibration.

Alright I'll tear it down this weekend and get an update.

Seems it might be getting worse now anywhere up to like 30 mph pretty bad shaking. I have a spartan locker in my rear end also and it made a prett violent pop yesterday coming into my neighborhood I don't know if my rear end is the problem yet but I'm hoping its not. Edit: just anther...

I did the 500 mile fluid swap check and everything looked pretty normal. I mean if I can't figure out if its something else ill take off the cover and look again.

Just recently I have been getting an interesting vibration it starts around 15 mph and its worst is at 20 mph and stops at about 25mph. The vibration is only noticeable when not pressing the gas and sounds like its mostly in my rear end because my back hatch is rattling. Any guesses? I just...

I have manual hubs in suspect of one being broken.

So I just got my car back on the road and I'm noticing around very tight (like 90°) turns in parking lots that my front end is lunging, popping and binding like I was in 4x4. My t case had always sort of given me problems but I never really noticed it till I put it in 4hi the other day then took...

Haha alright thanks guys I have another 2 days off to work on this starting tomorrow so hopefully I will get somewhere with it I know I have gotten a lot out but just want this thing as clean as possible.

Have been at it with a magnet there is just so much it would take a month to get it all out with just that

I found out I could just shave down the gears a bit to fit the pin in so I did that works fine now. Didn't want to mess with trying to get the ring on in the diff or get a notched pin. Thanks for the quick reply though.

I'm running into another problem now I cannot install the cross pin past my gears anymore. The ring gear sticks out past my cross pin hole for the carrier so the pin can't be put through the hole. Any ideas guys?

Hey so after my ring and pinion exploded my axle has lots of small shavings to large shavings throughout I'm wondering if anyone has a good way of getting everything out I have been scrubbing this thing down for 2 days and there is a lot of shavings still left in.

No I have no plan for that haha. I got to look at it this morning and found that it does have the slots I just didn't notice but thank you everyone for your help!

Ah well I'll get a chance to look at mine when I wake up today haha. Hopefully it does have slots or ill be very angry because the place I bought it from had no indication of it having or not having slots.

Thank you very much for the video! But my next question is do they make a Spartan locker for the 31 spline 8.8 that doesn't have c clip slots? Because last time I looked my locker does not have notches like that in it... Unless I'm crazy... Because those seem very noticable.

It doesn't mention it at all though according to the installation manual that came with the Spartan. To be honest it doesn't look like they would fit anywhere in the carrier or locker anymore.

Hello all, I'm going from having a lsd rearend over to an open carrier with a Spartan locker. My question is how do you prevent the axle shafts from sliding out each end of the axle? On the lsd there are c clips inside of the carrier but now there is no place for c clips so I'm confused. Thanks...

Rough country and tuff contry are both aweful lifts they are actually exactly the same people say tuff is a little better but both crack the diff. Superlift is what I have (older style with soa included) and it's great I think the newer style is great also but only can order with new leaves or...

How much are you selling the Spartan for with shipping?

Wrong place to post but I was assuming I would have a better chance here. Does anyone near Portland, Oregon have an extra open carrier I could snag? All the ones online are pretty pricey and I rather not sit in 20° weather at a picknpull. I want to put a Spartan in my rear end (no pun intended)...
