    https://a.co/d/drwBD2w I found this, but would that fix the grinding/whining sounds? or did I damage the ring gears or other internals?

    96 Ranger Dana 35 NO GEAR LUBE :(

    ohhhh like me driving around town for a few weeks would not have caused a lot of damage? yeah iono, i think just using the 4wd for that short period of time, maybe 30 yards of mud worth, may have caused the damage im hearing.

I replaced my tie rod ends, my upper and lower ball joints (all MOOG parts, you can buy everything on Amazon for like 30-50% off), 6'' drop...

    96 Ranger Dana 35 NO GEAR LUBE :(

    I have a Steering box question 😁

    It’s definitely not slop in the pitman arm splines 🥵 that sucker is on there. I installed all new moog upper/lower balljoints, moog inner and outer tie rod ends, timken spindle rebuild kits, timken wheel bearings inner and outer with timken seals. Brake rebuild kits, r1 ceramic pads and r1...
