8" weird problem
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2017 7:01 pm
I bought a 3:80 third member from TJ on Ebay.
Swapped ot out no problem, while the axles were oit i put on adapters for rear discs.
Pit it all together then realized the wheel studs were way too short.
Pulled the axles again, changed axle seals, changed studs, put it back together. Except the DS axle won't go all the way back in, it engages the splines in the 3rd member about 5/8" the oiter bearing goes into the axle housing less than 1/4". Then it stops like I'm hitting something solid.
Confused....
