check your brakes... your axleshaft should not heat up your lugs

This is an exploded view of a Dana 60 but it should be close enough since its a part on the outer section. which part do you think is the culprit?

it is the rubber ring thing ..... it's just sitting around the axle shaft ..... it should be in the back of the spindle holding the shaft from freely wobbling/ rattling around, like the the drivers side is ..... I was wondering if thase can be bought separatly, or is it an all one piece thing?

there is a small caged needle bearing that is located right under that rubber disk inside the spindle ( I believe the rubber disk is a splash guard). Check to see if the axleshaft is damaged in the bearing area.

I think he's talking about the spindle bearings. I know inside my D44, once you pull the spindle off, there is a seal and behind the seal is a flat rubber/plastic disk that sort of keeps tension on the caged needle bearings. I've always just re-used them so I have no idea where to even get it.

I still have them for my solid D44. Look at this pick, and blow up the area around the spindle, you will see the seal and the caged needle bearings. I know it's for a 44, but the same principal.
