I know the axle bearings are bad due to slight grinding felt through floorboard and roaring. I suspected hub bearing changed one and found the afflicted bearing on the front diff. Makes noise when spinning tire on jacks. Both sides have a considerable amount of up and down play plus seeping seals. I am torn between just trying to do those bearings and seals or replacing the whole front diff. It has not been ran dry and no bad noises that I can pinpoint from the gears. So my question is do I change bearing and seals and roll the dice, or buy a used diff? If anyone has this problem please feel free to give me some feedback. Thanks
