Re: Dana 30 gear noise
The bearings are not worn out. My TJ was the donor of the axle, and it was
just fine when I removed it.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Which yoke are you referring to?
The axle had a normal u-joint style pinion yoke on it when it was under my
TJ. The Grand Cherokee has a wacky front drive shaft with a weird CV joint
at the front that need a different pinion yoke. When I slung the axle under
the GC, the TJ pinion yoke was removed (actually that was done well before I
started this particular axle swap) and I replaced it with the weird Grand
Cherokee yoke. The pinion shaft diameter and spline count is identical on
both axles, as is the seal. The depth of the splined part of both yokes
appears to be the same too. I have no idea if there are actually any
differenced inside of the seal.
I made an appointment with the Jeep dealer in the city who seemed to think
resetting the pinion bearing preload because of a yoke change was no big
deal. I just hope my test driving, and the drive to the dealer on Thursday,
won't have ruined anything expensive to replace. I'll drive there at a speed
wheere there's no noticeable noise, approximately 70 km/h seems to be good
for that.
Regardless, I'm not willingly going back into the superheated garage for a
while. Heck, I'm sitting in the basement as I type this and sweat is still
dripping on my glasses. Why does global warming only affect summertime
temperatures up here in Canada anyway?

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Tell me about it, I am trying to convince my wife I would be better off
medically if I was sitting at the side of the lake up north of you on
the trail we run where I can jump in to keep cool. Don't need to be
back until next Wednesday....
And yes, that was the yoke I was thinking about.
