rear end

So this is basically a part two to my wanting to replace rear end post of my truck. The main issue is my rear pass wheel now wobbles after I spun out due to a blowout and hitting a curb. A lot of people said to inspect the axle shaft itself as opposed to replacing rear end. The issue is the diff...

Alright so awhile ago my tire popped and I completely lost control of the truck. It spun into a curb and I went from 30 to 0. Took awhile to replace what was broken on this rust bucket especially since I’m learning about cars as something breaks. My issue is now my passenger rear wheel wobbles...

Hello again its been a while (good thing I suppose) but you guys were helpful before so I have another question for you. I recently did a tire rotation to see if my front end wobble/steering wheel shake at 65+ mph was due to worn tires (did ball joints a few years ago and never got an aliment...

I drive a 1999 ford ranger xlt 4x4 it's lifted 3 inches and has 33s on it, when I'm driving at 60mph my rpms run right at 2100, so I looked at the door tag and it said I have 3.73s but I looked at my rear end and my tag is gone, so I believe it has been regeared before I bought it

It's been a long cold winter. With the overhaul completed over a week ago, I had to wait on some help with the reinstall. Got it sitting on the frame on Monday, finished and started it this afternoon. It started on the second crank and was smooth and quite in less then 10 seconds. I let...

I picked up a new G2 limited slip and install kit extremely cheap for my rear end and want to run a locker in the front with the brown wire mod. Does anyone here already have this set up?

I have a 2001 explorer xlt 4 door 4wd with either 3.23 or 3.55 gears I forgot which one. I'm running 33" tires and want more low end. I bought a front carrier from a 2001 ranger with 4.10 gears but it needs the inner axle shaft. Will the one from my original front carrier work? Also, what year...

I recently purchased a 2004 xlt and yesterday I got a screw in the rear driver side tire so I took it off to have it plugged. When I put on my spare (which is smaller then the tires on it, its 245/65/r17 as compared to the 265/65/r17's that its normally riding on) and went to drive, it drove...

So I have a 96 4 door 2wd XLT, I'm going to probably 2" TT in the front, and I am on a pretty tight budget. In the rear I'm debating between blocks and shackles. I know shackles are better, but also more expensive. I haven't done to much research on either one yet so any help would be...
