    It may be bent, but I think the guys that did the bearing before are idiots. So the bearing seized while I was driving down the highway in dallas last night and I lost the tire, wheel, and axleshaft going 70.

    Aparently when the bearing siezed it was able to break the retaining ring and I got dana 35 syndrome.

    Well the moral of the story is 1 axleshaft toast w/ twisted splines. Brakes toast on driver side and a jeep drops alot when a 33 falls off. I would hate to have it happen w/ 35's or 37's.

    So now I am ordering some 4340 axles for the rear and disk brakes. since both 4340 axles cost 1/2 of what one OEM axle does from the dealer.

    So no major damage to anything else, then it sounds to me like you came out on top atleast, and not on your top.



    By the way, is the insurance going to pick up the dry cleaning bill on your seat covers.

    thats why I didn't stop in the road, I just kept driving sparks and all

    Anyways, I just ordered a teraflex disk brake conversion, and some alloy usa axles. That should round out the rear end.

    well, when you take in account, the gears and lockers it is much less

    Dealer quoted $450 for a new axle shaft
    4340 shafts w/ bearing and backing plates $299

    Dealer quote for drum, drum brakes and back plate $ 300
    Disk brake conversion $545

    So all in all, I now have a brand new rear axle, and I just hope the housing isn't bent, but I plan to truss it pretty soon, since I won't be worried about the detroit or 4340 shafts breaking.

    Oh, and when I found the old shaft on the side of the road, the splines were twited, not from falling out, but from off-road. That side was ready to break.

    Luckily it broke where it did, instead of out on a trail or something!

    yeah, i would have had to drive it w/ a tree strapped to the side or somthing. Well if the shaft had broken it wouldn't have been a big deal, it was the bearing seizing that made the wheel fall off. Probably due to the 1.5 hour drive at 75+ mph

    Ok so I have decided to go with an air shifter for doubler.

    Who knows about pnumatics. I know I need a double acting cylinder but what type of valve do I need to control it. I was looking at one of these valves

    because its a jeep and the shifters must follow the theme of not working/ being out of adjustment/ leaking.
