Found a few issues in mine today. The drivers front spindle nuts worked thereselves a little loose and it had some slop. The spindle is slightly worn from that but im not so sure it hadn't already happened and thats why they were loose. Anyway, it tightened up good so i'll have to put it together and put a little time on it and see whats up there. All of the bearings were perfect. The driveshaft pillow block bearing took a little grease but not much. It's almost like it just went bad. It appears to be letting it wobble some which I guess could have been my noise. I got it about half way apart before I had to call it quits for the day. Oh, and I spent about two hours washing it and theres still more mud. YAY!
