Hey all,
My truck is in the shop right now to get a popping noise looked at. It comes from the front driverside but the mechanic is saying the CV axle is popping off the passenger side differential intermediate shaft. I have the 4" rough country lift with the diff drop so the CV axles angles are identical to stock. They're saying I need extended axles that are made for lifted trucks, but this just isn't computing with me. Can anyone chime in on this? Unfortunately, I have a road trip with the family planned for Sunday and they're saying it shouldn't be driven at all.
This same mechanic put a new diff from a 2018 in it last time when I got the CV's replaced (about 2 months ago). Maybe the diff housing for the 2018 is shorter than the 2014? I have no idea.
Any thoughts?
