Well the 4:10's have been in the Front DANA 30 ARB'd since 1998 and they finally decided to let go.
Tore 5 teeth of the ring gear and at least 3 off the pinion.
Details are as follows'
Friend calls and says "Your little Jeep will never pull my bushes out of my front yard."
So off we go winch cable in hand.
Well it took lots of work and at one point I had all 4 smokin on the road in Reverse. Well we were able to get all the bushes removed and when I started to drive home, I heard a clunk.
Yep, I drove it the 3 miles home, LIMPED it and tore into it today.
The ring and pinion are shot. BUT this time the ARB held UP!
And so did the SPICER factory axles and joints!
Well made one telephone call and the 4:89's are on the way!
Tue they should be here. and then the install.
Will report more later.
