 Subject: Drive train Whine Front CV?
IP: Logged
Message:
'00 dakota 4.7 with 80K miles on it.. Last year I did both rear 'U' joints. Lately I hear a bit of a whine.. can't tell front or back. Question is. With 80K miles on this car, should I expect that the Front axle CV joints might be whining or should I look elsewhere? I haven't gotten off the ground and run it yet. just looking for advanced help

bad whine......... tires wearing unevenly? or bad wheel bearing? If your cv joints were going out, it sound more like a clicking sound.

Makes sense, yeah, CV's click. According to my dad, turning while driving made noise changes but no big changes. I'm betting Hub assemblies. 80K/11 years.. probably bearings.
OK anyone know the torque for the Center Axle Nut? Dads truck, I want to be prepared when I get over there to listen for myself what's going on.

From an '01 FSM:
HUB/BEARING INSTALLATION
(1) Install the hub/bearing into the steering
knuckle and tighten the bolts to 166 N·m (123 ft.
lbs.).
(2) Install the brake rotor and caliper. (Refer to 5 -
BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS -
INSTALLATION).
(3) Install the ABS wheel speed sensor if equipped.
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES/ELECTRICAL/FRONT
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR - INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the halfshaft nut and tighten to 235
N·m (173 ft. lbs.).

What size is the half shaft Nut and do I need a Deep socket to reach down the axle.
Is all this hardware Standard or Metric? sorry I have so many cars that are a combination that I need to know what tools I'm bringing with me

| Axle Hub Assy NOTES

Message:
Swapped out the two Hub assemblies 2000 dakota 4WD.
The center Axle Nut was 1-1/4" and the three bolts to remove the hub were 9/16" not metric.
10mm wrench was needed to loosen and move the small dust shield to snake the ABS wire through.
It was a three hour job to do both sides.
Slide hammer is key to get Hub out of Knuckle
