So I've been searching for 2 hrs on this and I'm a bit confused.
The GF and I are leaving for a 10K trip around the US in our stock 97. I want to pull the DS or better yet leave the DS and pull out the shafts and put plugs/seals in the tubes. The only info I found is is Crash's write up:
"The Dana 30 used in TJ’s/XJ’s/ZJ’s/MJ’s/WJ’s is not a full floating axle, that is, the shaft itself plays a role in carrying the weight of the vehicle. With the shaft removed, the bearings will fall apart, leaving you wheel-less."
I dont see how its a semi float. Any ideas?
No bearings to fall out: http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znetcs/product-info/en/US/tim/513084/image/8/
