There was no leak , I heard a rotational noise while backing into the garage so I jacked everything up and the only thing I found was the movement in the axle shaft ends. I honestly didnt measure it but there was movement and I was under the impression that there wasnt suppossed to be any at...

It was about a quarter inch of play

I'm not a complete goober, the shafts are for drum brakes. Im clearly a goober in the fact that I can't keep wheel bearings alive and have no clear clue on what I'm doing wrong

I'm using the regular retainer plate for the waggy axle. I did not replace it when I did the bearing change. I think I pressed it flat and put it back together. I can't find any other issues with anything, so my plan is to use new retaining bolts , I ordered a 3/16 retainer plate and new bearing...

It’s a stock drum set up

They were timken

When I built my rear axle,( Wagoneer 44) I installed new bearings when installing the new shafts. That lasted for about three years and earlier this summer I found the driver side had in and out play. I pulled the shaft and found that the bearing was bad I replaced It and did another trip to...

It was an uneventful trip, we started on the trail about 11 and made it to a camp at meadow lake by 630-7. We even had enough left in us for some night wheeling back down to winch Hill 4

This was in August of last year, it’s a fun trail but way easier than Fordyce

As @Alex01 can attest I’m pretty easy on them, they were used so maybe the original owner was hard on them. RCV warranted them no problem. I remember someone talking about the stuff with a lifetime warranty isn’t as tough as you would think that you end up paying double upfront and it pays for...

I ran slickrock without any issues and was really happy with the travel and the ride The next trip was Barrett lake jeep trail. It’s a short rock crawl trail that is all obstacles the whole time and ends up at a mountain lake . It was going great until I tried to bump a obstacle and broke...

Thank you! Yes it went fast, but I’m still happy with the changes

I did a few more trips with no issues and did a day trip to Fordyce, while showing off on a rock I noticed that the rear upper arms were ripping off the frame. I have rewelded cracks in them a few times but they were stretched and pulled away from the frame substantially and that also...
