lrgvanman Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If it isn't a linkage issue, I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveT Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Stripped splines on a front hub or CV axle. Take off hub caps, if any, have someone watch the front wheel centers. Put in gear in front drive, if the nut spins, that's where the problem is. If both do not, then have to look at the axles to make sure they are not spinning on the transmission, but not turning the wheels. I've seen a number of threads over they years - if the big axle nut is not properly tight, the splines eventually strip out of the hub.

Typically due to a loose castlated nut. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
