diff rebuild
« on: May 13, 2016, 08:32:33 PM »
I'm getting a pinion bearing sound from my front diff on my 04 WJ. Looks like my pinion bearings are one the way out. What are some experiences with driverine shops for diff rebuilds? I don't mind paying for a great shop I just want the guarantee for the work.

Eric at Broken Axle rebuilt my Ford 9" rear diff with new ring and pinion, plus a detroit locker at the same time. Has been running flawless ever since, its been a few years since the rebuild!

Although the ford 9" has to be the easiest diff to rebuild we have done many of the usual diffs under jeeps.
It is pretty common for those wj front Dana 30's wear out bearings:/

I do gears and diff rebuilds. All my work is guaranteed. I've done a lot of work for members here over the years.

Have a noise in mine too (04 WJ) Loud while under throttle, coasting it's totally quiet. Is that ring/pinion bearings?
