I understand the 203 has a differential to eliminate binding since there are new u joints and the front end has been serviced including wheel bearings coils it be that the differential just can only do so much it’s only a slight noise but I’m not sure what else it could be or is that the symptom...
I replaced all ball joints and repacked ratings the front end is now in great shape other than that odd noise when running 4i locked hubs not to be co fused with 4 hi loc it is a 203 with manual hubs the truck has been pieces together by previous owners.
I lubed the slip joint previously its unconverted it won t go anywhere in 4 hi hubs unlocked but today I drove it 4 hi loc hubs unlocked and no bad noises so still a bit confused why they never put the kit in?
No I believe it is an open diff I just drove it for the first time with 4 hi loc and hubs unlocked and absolutely zero pops or scary noises so I'm guessing its related to running in 4hi hubs locked?????
