I'm still in the bowels of my differential rebuild. The side bearings are
the focus
of this question for the mechanically minded. The side bearing nearest the ring
is tight on
its shaft.I removed it with a bearing splitter and puller. The opposite side
bearing can
nearly be pulled off with my hand. I miked both shafts. The ring side is 1.500
inches, the
opposite side is 1.499 to 1.500 inches, with a little "wear" appearance. What
has caused
the loose side bearing to be loose?. I'm hoping that a new bearing can correct
this
problem. The million dollar question, is it the shaft or the bearing?
