Knocking-In-The-Hub
--Guys, got a problem. I just bought my F-250 fourx4 from gramps, drove it all the way from southern missouri to northern IL. Before we left I noticed a rattling/knocking from the left front wheel, I thought It was the caliper but it wasn't getting hot so I would check it out when I got home (It's still well worth what I paid -he only wanted a 30pk of beer!) But when I got home I checked out the calipers
and that's not it, it's coming from inside the hub. Now bare with me, it has full-time 4x4 and non lockout hubs. It only makes the sound when there is no tension on the drivetrain (deceleration, coasting, and taking off from a halt) The hub turns alittle before really connecting with the axleshaft. I've looked around but cannot find an exploded view of these hubs or a service manual that cover full-time4x4 systems. I don't want to go tearing into this project without knowing what I'm do'in.
-ANY help is GREATLY appreciated
- Thanks always

-It's a '78 F-250 with Dana 44 heavy duty front end
-It'd sure help alot to get even a picture of the parts, some of those hubs are so filled with grease that you lose parts in the grease- I sure want to get this fixed so it won;t do any further damage
