Time to clean up and inspect the DANA 30 front axle, did some work here
already. The bearings were replaced a couple of years before he was
parkred... Everything will get a good look, but I'm thinking some gaskets,
universal joints, brakes, a paint job and done. But then again.... I
haven't opened anything up yet.
