Re: rattle in front axle
When you replace the pinion bearings you will need to re-check the ring and pinion pattern, then you might have to re-shim. then you will have to torque in a new crush sleeve to give you the required pre-load on the pinion bearings. It takes about 200lbs of torque to start crushing the crush sleeve to get the 15 inch pounds of resistance on the pinion bearings.
Best advise would be to take it down to a local axle place and have them check it out with an estimate, then you could call around to find a better price if your not happy with theres.
