Front 44 out back

[CrustyJeep]

$50 = good, 1 to 2 months = bad... Looks like I'll be able to pay $55 for it though, thx Pokey :haha:

Are you in Tumwater?

 

[Totalled]

Yep. Out by the airport.. couple blocks from pick a part. I can swap it sooner. The new rear is ready to go in.

Hey Crusty, why not just keep it a front and have rear steer?

 

[pokey]

Better get on it glen:haha: :haha:

You know you like the attention :kissmyass:

Your Welcome

Part of the rational for this is that contrary to what I expected, the housing has been the only issue I've had with the axle. The 30 spline Warn shafts and the FF setup have been great, except I broke the hubs while stuck *hard* between two trees. I could get flanges and be good for years on 36's.

Any objections?

Do you really have to ask such a stupid ****ing question :looser: :rb:

I thought the pair I got off ebay for $111.00 delivered were a good deal. Spares

Well anyway, I did it. I used a Chevy front housing with 3" x 3/8" wall tube. I hacked off the long side and spliced it on the short side. Since I am at 55", I didn't need any other tube. I decided the tube was plenty beefy and didn't do any sort of trussing. I stuck my old bearing ends on and put the Detroit and 4.56's and the Warn FF setup right back in/on there.

I had a set of alignment pucks made up (thanks TB-F) and found a hunk of 1.25" round bar, and did all the work myself, yay.

I am using the inner seals, and vented the tubes (kinda weird, three breather hoses, whatever) so I won't have gear oil seeping into the wheel bearings anymore.

I toasted another set of Warn lockouts and finally upgraded to flanges/slugs. Other than that, no problems so far.

Nobody wants to see a rear 44 used in the fornt either :looser:

I can sympathize. But what's that got to do with this thread? And why are you pissing all over a perfectly good thread that doesn't interest you? Bored much?

 

[TreeClimber]

Rumor has it you have a front-wheel drive jeep.

Inquiring minds want to know?

 

[PUO-BANNED]

No wonder crusty has so many posts. :haha:

Dana 44's are:rb::rb::rb: Complete waste of time and money. If you wheel with a troop of girl scouts it might be the axle of your choice. I ordered a currie 9/44 hybrid 5 years ago and have broken everything except the diff of course. Chromo 44 inner axles just break, don't matter if you are running bobby's 300m u joints or CTM's. :fawkdancesmiley:

 

[Mog9buG]

Maybe try some Sammy axles. They are tougher than the 44.
