| Description of the problem | Whilst driving in bad weather i had my 4 wheel drive engaged. I was driving 5 miles an hour on a straight gravel road, when i started hearing a grinding noise. Before i could get stopped safely to see what the issue was there was a large thud and my entire truck shook. It was then pouring gear lubricant out of my front differential. After taking the truck apart to find the damage i discovered the axle shaft (nissan part no.: 38220-8s11a) had been stripped of its splines on the end. The part looks as if it was machines perfectly cylindrical. The metal shavings from the shaft slightly marred up the seals so i replaced the seals and shaft, spider gears seemed okay to reuse. |
