Hi group - I have posted to another group this trouble we are having
with our church van .... be low are the symptoms and also what has been
changed ..
1986 Dodge B150 V8 8.25 rear axle
While making a turn to the left from a dead stop there is a grinding
feeling coming from the rear end ... this does not happen while turning
to the right from a stop ... another words .. from leaving a stop sign
and turning left giving enough gas to get out in traffic I get a
gringing feeling and sound - but not while making right hand turns.
I have replaced both U-joints, Spider gears, checked all mounts
I am wondering could it be a wheel bearing on the left side bad? any
other ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

Damn. Those cheap Chinese Rosary beads don't last long when used in wheel
bearings.

Obviously we cannot hear the noise here, some one on site has to drive and
diagnose this, is there any excess axle shaft end play or vertical movement,
were the spider gears replaced for this, if so then it should be addressed
by who ever misdiagnosed the problem, assuming a shop did the work.

There is normal side to side but I have not checked up & down play as
of yet .... I replaced the spider gear set as advised by another
posting .... this did take care of some grinding noise when taking off
but I still have it when I trun left ..... not to the right I can floor
it and get no noise/grind.
