How would you describe a dying axle?
 

SVXFiles has indicated to me that some symptoms that I described to him are partially indicative of a failing axle. That being said, without me listing those symptoms, what are some signs/sounds of a failing axle. Thanks much!

Front: clicking at creeping speeds on full lock in either direction.

I just replaced one of mine and it sounded like a sharp clicking when I made sharp left turns and sometimes right ones too.:rolleyes:

SAD !! :( :( :(

Very cute Earl:p The sound I am hearing is a distinct ringing that is only present at soft to moderate acceleration, and for the first second after letting off. The sound is not present at all if you take it out of gear, yet most present once in OD, (even moreso at higher speeds). I know its not bearings, but as i was saying, axle was suggested to me as a problem. Any ideas?:confused:

Have you thought maybe the front diff?

I've had it go out and be replaced before, so I'm familiar with the sound, and this is something different altogether. Thanks for the thought though!

Lemme just bump this to the top here....
