Default Still having those wonderful front end problems...

Brand new CV axles and brand new hubs still haven't fixed my problems yet. So even after all that, I still hear a grinding in the front end... I do have a blown pinion seal, and it's bleeding gear oil, but I don't think that it would cause such an audible grinding... So the only thing I could think of would be something in the diff? It sounds like it's coming from the front axle, so I doubt it would be anywhere else on the truck. Anybody have any insight to this? I finally have some money to get into her, so whatever needs fixing, I'll get done.

Take it to a shop instead of waiting on us to diagnose it, unfortunately we cant see it from here.

They're bad, but not causing it. It ain't a grinding that you can feel. It's just audible.

brake pads are cheap, if you know they are bad then replace them and see if that helps.

my front brakes have given me a ton of sh*t the last few months, every time it's a differant noise / feeling, and every time i thought it was an axle or suspension problem. turned out to be a caliper slowly going bad, and getting progressivly worse.

Well, tell me a garage that's open past six around here then man... I was planning on taking it because I'm sick of working on the ****in thing already, and I thought maybe one of you guys had this problem before. But there ain't no garages open today here that do good work. Kota's going into the shop tomorrow for tie rods, so I was gonna ask him as well. Not only that, but lately the mechanics have all been telling me the wrong things are broken/worn out. So I've lost faith in 'em.

Not at you, at this damn truck... I just want it to run right again. I kinda regret buying this one now. I knew it was beaten when I saw it, but my childish side kicked in and I had to get it because I liked it so damn much.
