2007 F-150 XLT forward transfer case shaft inspection
 

Hey all

Just wanted your opinionated inputs when you look at the picture and read anything in open close quotations.

"This is what we found when we opened up the transfer case, the bearings which are supposed to slide up and down were starting to dig and cut into the shaft(marked in blue in photo, keep in mind I had a friend blindfolded to touch these areas and couldn't feel any indentions..said it was still smooth as glass)"

"The bearings are supposed to be pressed onto the shaft"

"Your whining noise came from the bearings themselves spinning around the shaft"

"Sorry we couldn't save the bearings they had to pound them out"

Thank you for looking and/or your opinions.
