i swapped a 3.55 geared D30 into my manual cherokee (stock came with 3.55s) and rebuilt everything with the notion that i would be able to build my stock axles while getting a little better gas mileage. the single thing i neglected, was the pinion bearing. i knew it wasnt super tight, but didnt think itd be an issue. i was wrong, and now its an issue.
i have about 20-45 degrees or rotational play in the pinion yoke. gears looked fine when i swapped the axle in and replace the axle seals.
long story short... can i simply replace my pinion bearings, the crush sleeve, pinion nut, and pinion seal, and be happy... or am i looking at a regear sooner rather than later?
ive google searched and havent found anything... and ive heard mixed answers from people who i consider to be knowledgeable.
