I wrecked my 94' on the way to deer camp and bent the front axle housing. A few questions for the experts on here.
1. What all do I have to take off to drop the axle assembly?
2. As I look for a new one, is there a way to distinguish between a locked and non locked axle just from appearance?
3. Will an axle assembly off a "locked" truck work on my non-locked truck?
4. What other items should I check for bending?
I will be able to put up some pics tonight. I took it to a body shop. They replaced the fender before they realized the axle was bent. Being that the tire was pushed in and back, I'm not sure if I will be able to drive it without ripping off the new fender. Unreal.
