So I have a whining noise coming from a recently installed ARB with new 4.88 gears in my rear D44.
I place it on jackstands, removed the wheels and drums. Placed the Transfer case in neutral, and can turn either axle, and the driveline doesn't turn.
I start the engine, get the driveline spinning, and the axles rotate. I can use my hand to stop the axle, go over to the other side and can also stop the axle. I lock the ARB, and both axles are locked good.
I thought the ring side axle was always locked and was direct with the driveline. When the ARB is locked, both axles are direct with the driveline. It seems as if the ARB is minimum slip when not locked.
My question is,... is that the way the ARB is supposed to act?
