Has anyone ever twisted their rear Dana 44 32 spline axles. This is meant to be Chrome Molly steel. I had a small whirling noise that starts up at about 60 kph but it never gets louder as I go faster or changes it's sound under acceleration or deceleration. The noise started about 2 months so today I finally decided to take a look at the rear end and this is what I've found. I do a far bit of hard off roading BUT I don't spin the 5hit out of the wheels, I'm very careful and kind, well as much as I can be when off road.
I'm wondering if it is really Chrome Molly steel and maybe I should stick with the OEM Mopar axles instead.
