i think i broke something!

[B2Guy]

today a few of my friends and i all jumped in our vehicles and went wheelin. everything was going fine, it was a great day for wheelin. we were all at this rough real rocky spot and i was flexed out on the front pass side and my coil popped out... no problem, i got it back in after about 15 minutes of working on it... start going again and i notice this horrible grinding noise.

i pulled my pass side front wheel off and checked everything. its not a busted hub, started pulling my outer wheel bearings off and they're fine (before i started i noticed alot of play in the axle shaft when trying to move it around.) checked the u-joint and it looked fine... nothing rubbing on the rotor... any other suggestions?

Something may be damaged in the diff.

 

[B2Guy]

id does it worse when i turn pass side going down the rd. maybe the inner axle shaft bearing?

Did you check the other side?

 

[b2rich]

c-clip?

 

[B2Guy]

i think the c clip is fine. i havent checked it yet. will check it tomorrow. i didnt check the other side either only cause i was still on the trail and just wanted to get out of there after that point.

Could it be the slip joint on the passenger side shaft?
