Well i got a chance to rip into my front axle last night and found out what was wrong. First i found a grey piece that seems like a spacer that was cracked but i can't see anything being wrong with it. It doesn't really do anything but maybe keep the bearing sitting in its seat. The piece i did find that was cracked is definately a problem. Its the housing for the planeary gears, where it attached to the axle. There is are two pressed in rods that keep it from spinning on the axle and it split where those rods are. Here are a couple pics. Hope i can get some replacement parts. If anyone needs any dimensions or pics of the front end i have it comepletely tore down.
Heres the axle assembly out of the front end
Some of the axle stripped down. The bueish piece on the right of the axle is whats broke.
Heres a pic of the broke piece
And here is the axle disassembled
and i couldn't get the piece off without busting the rest of the housing off. It was close to completely snapping anyhow.
Here are a bunch of pics i snapped from taking it apart.
