i'm pretty new here at pirate4x4 and know im probably going to get torched but, i have a 14 bolt FF axle i picked up at a local junk yard. I put new bearings, races, seals in it and a disk break kit. and put under a 96 1500 suburban i made it about 100 miles or less on the axle and i guess the wheel bearings were tightened up to much but the wheel bearings went out and the axle broke and in the process split the spindle back to the brake backing plate is it possible to buy a new axle tube and get it installed cheaper than a new 14ff because the only ones i can find around here (Little Rock) are $700+ and i didnt pay but $250 for this one less than a year ago. Thanks and let the flaming begin:confused:

you can get a bare housing shipped to you for probably less than $300.

i found one housing here locally for around $100 but it it a drw. I still have my hubs and spare axles i can just switch everything out or should i keep drw hubs.

Did you look at Pick and pull in Jacksonville? They usually have one or to. Might check them out you might get lucky.

yeah everytime i call pick and pull i just get mad the ppl i get stuck talking to dont know the difference in semi floating and full floating but i will probably try and just go by and look myself......like the engine choice in the scout. i got an 06 sierra 6.0L vortecmax

and i just found out the empty "housing" i found was a semi floater not a dually full floater

If it wasn't so fucking hot I would go look for you!!! :D

Just keep looking in the paper and craigslist.


Good luck!

ok well thanks for your input hopefully i will post some pics once i get the new axle
