Rmc

The axles are new through Dave

Thanks for heads up on the 3 bolt.

I will keep eye out for 3 bolt 80-82 d44 third. Looks spendy and i already have this one re geared and lockered so i wll limp along with the spring until it fails or I find a three bolt.

Maybe the 96 broncos are different?

Ok I'm still confused I get what's in the ARB and Aussie locker pics But The set up I have in the 96 there is no "Hole" to put the spring into.? The above referenced photos appear to have The spring inside the shaft the contacting the Universal joint. Please look at my photos below I think my spring...

Great looking fab work.

Got this from ARB

RMC,

where is the cup placed?
welded to?

Cap?

What spring is recommended ??

Picture is worth a 1000 words!!!

yeah most (all?) lockers do not use the c clip on the inner axle and per most brands instructions a spring must be used... make sure you tack weld the cap on the inside of the slip yoke otherwise the spring will pop it out from pressure. I went with a D50 inner axle/slip yoke as it uses a 1350 u jo...

Yeah, that picture indicates the passenger axle plunged and stayed in that position because nothing held the inner axle back. You're going to want the 3 bolt third member from 80-83?? The spring is problematic with long travel due to the amount of plunge from full stuff to droop, but will certainly...

Thx RMC
As always well said
Yes it's the passenger side off a 96
The FSB guys talk about a spring to keep it in there.
I have only done mild 4x4ing so I can't imagine that it dropped out but who knows
Gonna tear into this week.

Help Continued Next shake down issue felt some clunking From the front end And couldn't get the front ARB locker To lock pump just keeps running Found this.... I can move shaft around and can feel it Just engage the splines and then I can Pull it out!!! Is the axle to short? Had to remove the clips ...

Help!!! Have been on Shake down mode for last 3 wks working out bugs and figuring out What needs more work. Terrible vibration when letting off gas Only last for a few seconds Thot it was new gears but then I. Found a Very loose bolt and oil dripping....bolt is ok But the housing is stripped, hopefu...

so this bumper will fit a 96?

i have a 96 and that is what im looking for.

thx

Im running the 4.88 with 35" and really like it.

cruises the 55 to 60 about 2000rpm
and
cruises the 70 about 2600 rpm
engine feels happy and mpg in the low teens.
acceleration is great too.
Dirt so far feels right.

x2 on the 4.88 gearing...cruises the highway well and has the grunt in the dirt too. glad i didnt go with 4.56....I have the solo shock hoops too and mounted the reservoirs in the same place you did, so far no issues but it hasnt run hard or hot or both, so well see. great looking rig, like the colo...
