The sound is of something that is popping or hitting something. It’s pretty loud to where I can feel each pop on the steering wheel. I’ve considered the possibility of it being the rear diff as my mechanic recently changed the fluid in the diff and told me the spider and side gears were chipped...
Hello everyone. I am a new member as i am taking care of my girlfriend's 97 wrangler tj. Last night her rear diff went out. Grinding sound then pop. Now pops evertime the driveshaft rotates. From another post i gathered that it can only be a dana 40 with 373. As far as i can tell everything is...
Hello, looking for a differential carrier for dana 44 rear end. My old trac loc spider gears and clutch pack wore out. Would be interested in a good set of spider gears and clutches. Or any compatible complete carrier would do!
Hey guys, had my axles out and rear end taken apart. (Rear Dana 44) and while inspecting my spider gears notice they’re a bit chipped up. Not realizing I had a Trac-Lok I used my dremel to grind down the ring gear to get the center pin out to change the spider gears only to realize they don’t...

I'm attempting to replace the spider gear in my 2000 TJ Dana 35 rear with Track Loc.
I cannot for the life of me get the smaller gears to slide into place.
The videos make it look so easy?? What am I doing wrong?
I need help, while attempting to replace my carrier gears (spider gear) the drivers side planetary gear will not slide on the axle to allow me to remove the c-clip. It is like the damn thing is welded on there. Before I beat on this thing is there something I am missing??? I mean damn, it...
Hi,
