Specs:
XJ w/ 231 HPD30 front
D44 w/ t-lock and orignial 3.55
w/drums
33" BFGs
Tom Woods Short shaft kit and new Cv style shaft, new u joints also, pinion looks good, pointing up about 2* below in-line with the d-shaft .
Problem:
leak around the housing where it connects to the axle tubes (and on the weld spots, or pins that hold it to the axle tube).. working on pics
it also leaks on the inboard side of the drum brake on the pass side
I get a humming sound when I am at 40mph+ and let off gas suddenly (coast)
I get vibes sometimes at 60-70mph but not always (might be from the front with stock D-shaft?)
Question:
do you think it is a bad gear setup, or just a bad pinion angle? What seal do you think it is causing the leak?
I am breaking open the diffs this week to change fluid. Would I be able to see excessive wer on the coast side of the gear teeth if that is the problem?
