Hello, I originally have been chasing ghosts in my front end trying to find what is causing aall the heavy grinding and popping I could feel through the steering wheel. The problem only happens if I turn the wheel left or right but was fine straight. If I put it neutral while taking a turn then there is no problem. Also, if I tap throttle and let off I can hear a clunk. Also chunks when going in reverse
I recently had a friend creep the truck around a parking lot with the wheels turned as I felt each wheel for vvibratios. Without a doubt the problem is in the rear axle. I can visually see the wheels "twitching" which I felt as popping in the steering wheel. Can anybody pinpoint from this description what specifically needs fixing or would I be better of with a complete rear end rebuild? Where is the best bang for the buck rebuild kits? The 93 w250 had a Dana 70, right? Would it be overly complicated to go from the 4.10 to say a 3.73 gear while I'm at it? Thinking this might be a good time to improve the mpgs and highway speeds. If there is a writeup about this please share a link especially if there is a complete part's list for the rebuild.
