front axle rebuild kit?

[daveb1016]

I have to rebuild my front axle, (clicking like mad!!) 220k miles on it, has never been done.

What parts typically need to be replaced?

Is a rebuild kit available?

I would do the knuckles at the same time as well.

Where should I get the parts? or does anyone know where I get all the parts for the kit?

Any help would be appreciated....

thanks

Dave

Call Cdan

The Shaman will take care of you.

If you have clicking birfields you may need to swap sides. If they are cracked or otherwise you will need to replace. Most just swap sides and they go for another 100k

In that order...

I am getting ready to do the same thing. Get the Factory Service Manual, read and print out all of the info in Frequently Asked Questions thread about front axle service, then call Cruiser Dan in the Vendors section for the parts.

Also in the vendors section, el mariachi has a DVD available of the front axle service - I ordered it and plan to watch it a few times before diving in.
