Ok, I just called a place called Axle Plus and they have the entire halfshaft available for $115 or so, I just hope this is the problem. I'm going to get out there and disassemble it soon to make sure (lack of tools makes this a REAL headache) but I might just buy some cv joint grease and reassemble it myself, doesn't look too hard in the directions I was sent (thanks again). Like I mentioned in the other thread, above 5mph I get a very harsh grinding and cackling from the front.

 

^ and this sound is with your vaccum lines hooked up correct?

When you drive does your front driveshaft still spin?

Before you rip everything apart have you checked yout tools to make sure the bearings are not from a tool? I would think that you would see 12 bearings rolling around on the floor when you were installing the lift if they came from the halfshafts. But mabey not...

Theres only 1 way to find out... Tear it back down...

 

Another reason I'd pay to have something liket hat installed.

 

J'....If I remember right, in one of your pictures I seen you had a "creeper" rolling around your garage floor. Check the wheels on that thing. 1/4" bearings would fit perfect in those wheels. I cant see where they would be worth a damn in the truck. Its just a thought..go check out that creeper

I'm going to ship you a 24 pack if thats it, be right back. Ok it's not. Bushtree, I'm waiting on a friend to get here so he can check if my halfshafts are moving while in drive. I have the vacuum lines hooked up so hopefully there are no vacuum problems, not sure which problem I'd prefer :P

 

Shut up! There's no need to add insult to injury.

 

DAMN...I was hoping for that 24 pack.

Well, I wish I could offer some more help bro, but I cant. I've never done what you just did. So when the day comes that I lift mine, I'm gonna have your phone number on hand at all times.

Hope you get it figured out and fixed soon. It looks awesome already, but its gonna be a beast once the new rims and tires are on. Good luck man, you rock

While these pictures are from an old VW Van. It's a lot bigger than a Honda and those sure as hell look like your escaped bandits... especially because there's 12 of them.

 

 

You're making my day Baja, definitely deserve some credit for all the help, definitely stood out and if there was a helpful award on this site, that honor is yours. Would you settle for a cookie? However, those ***** still look bigger than 1/4" in diameter, and thats on a vw van. Maybe we just have small bearings, who knows, I just thought I had bigger ***** than that.

Thanks Brew

 

You do, trying the lift install yourself. I hope it all works out cause your truck is going to look sick.

 

Here is an example of how it looks in comparison to an American dime, nickel and penny. Not very big.

 

Man those do look small, they're about 3/8", but I don't know where else they could be from. The wheel bearing was ok? Even though the wheel bearings are sealed so nothing should be able to fall out.

 

I think someone's jerking with you. Those are way too small to be bearings to the CV axles, and you can't get those bearings out of the axle without completely disassembling it. They don't just fall out without you knowing.

 

I know this may sounds stupid, but did they have grease on them when you found them?
