Rear ends and axle shafts.

I don't know where this should go but here seems like a good spot.

I have a Dana 44 (I think) in the rear end and it's only spinning one tire. Lifted it up and the passenger tire spins freely with a slight clicking noise. Any idea what it is. My dad says it's the bearings but wouldn't it still spin the tire? Help please.

If the left side is locked, it could b a snapped axle or maybe the brakes on that side r hanging up. Idk.

Doubt its a snapped axle... wouldn't the tire be falling out then as well?

When you say its only spinning one tire, is that on the ground as well when you hit the gas?

well i dont have alot of experience in this but i would assume the shaft is broken, since its up on the lift just remove the shaft it doesnt hurt anything as long as u dont lose any parts, for me it took me 10 min to pull apart the caliper and bolts holding the shaft to the axel and it was out
