So I bought a Dana 30 with 4.56 gears in it. The previous owner told me that the cross pin came out and scored the pinion. Upon looking at it I found one chipped tooth and sctratches along the front face. Other than that it was fine. So I installed the axle and drove it. When I reached 15 mph I got a horrible chatter noise that got louder the faster I went. So I changed out all the bearings and races made sure the pattern was still good and drove it again. Chatter is still there and did not change. I have a feeling that this gear set is toast. Does anyone have any other options or do I just bite the bullet and buy a new set of 4.56 gears?
Oh and just fyi for everyone it has brand-new brakes, calipers, rotors, hub bearings, u-joints, axle seals, bearings, ball joints, basically rebuilt minus carrier and gear set.
