My support vehicle 93 ford econoline, has some strange noises when I turn the rear wheels when up on a lift. Today is the first time I have had it up in the air, and I turned a rear wheel and heard horrible sounds. It sounded like a really bad bearing or something. The wheel turned kind of chunky (you could feel varying resistances as it was turned).
I pulled the diff cover off and found that the differential gears were causing the noises. I am assuming that this is NOT normal and that they are worn beyond their serviceable life. My question to you is: Should there be any noises when turning the raised rear wheels on a ford 8.8" rear end? Any suggestions? I have already ordered a rebuild kit (new spider gears, etc). Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have. |
