NEED REAR END HELP BAD

Okay guys. I pulled the rear axles and went to do the bearings and seals. Could'nt do it. So I took them to Altons to get them done. Well, now that I have them, I go to put them back in and they won't!

Its either one side goes in all the way and the other has another 1/8th inch before it goes in, or both stick out... I CANNOT get the axles in!

Dumbass at Altons broke one of the lock washers and screwed up the collars. They're all mushroomes and chipped. ON TOP of that, he put the damn things on BACKWARDS!

So I flipped them, and still, they DO NOT go in all the way!

I have to work in another freakin' city Monday, and all Automotive shops are closed tomorrow! SOMEONE HELP!

Is there something wrong at the pumpkin? Thats all I can think of. But the damn Chiltons manual says nothing about doing anything with the pumpkin!

if i were you i would rent a car or get a ride and make the shop fix it, thats messed up that they screwed it up. i dont know much about rear ends man sorry i cant help good luck

I can't ren a car... The age limit is 25!

Right after I posted this, my brother got them both in. Somehow, I dunno... But, I went to start putting my brakes back together and the primary spring did me over...

I got heat exhaustion and was dehydrated with a migraine. I'm out of commission...

I'm feeling better now, still have a headache...

I'm gonna try and get the rest done now. But I still have another question. Now that both are in, and the brakes are'nt even working, is it bad that I can't rotate the axles?

Before, I could rotate them easily. Now, its harder than hell to rotate! My bro thinks its just because I have new parts in there and theres no more slop... I dunno...

Well all, wish me luck that I get this all done on time and don't die trying!

Oh and my brother said he will take it apart again next week so we can get new parts and charge Altons for the parts. I'm gonna love yelling at them and not ever go back to them!

hey dude, i had the same problem with my rearend, wouldn't go all the way in, and when i got it tightened down it wouldn't turn, it ened up being a small bearing or somethin inside that wasen't put in whe n we reassebles it, i'm not exactly sure, but i can find out tommorow exactly what it was, can't right now cause its 2 am and the people who fixed it are sleepin, but i'll find out tommorow when i get up

it should still be easy to turn

i got no idea about rear ends but i hope you get it worked out.

MAN! What a bunch of crap... We get the axles in and all, but now when everything was put back together, and I drive the damn thing, its making this creeking noise and clicks a little bit and all...

I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT! The guy at Schucks thinks that if Altons screwed up putting the collars on and whatnot, he thinks he messed up putting the bearings on. Because he says the brakes SHOULD not make that type of noise. It selfs adjust when in reverse...

SO, I THINK ALTON'S SCREWED ME OVER!

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?!

Wheres nytrydr when you need him...

OH, BTW, I'm gonna miss work tomorrow now and I'll probably lose my job!

Find a good gear shop, get a rebuild kit from them.
It is very important not to mis place the shims if you do then you have to paint the gears to make sure the wear pattern is good, does the noises happen all the time or just on decel or just on acceleration.

Each side had 3 shims on the axles. I made sure on installation that they both had their 3 on them.

When we started driving it, it did'nt make the noise. But after my brother got out and I got in to drive it around the block again to feel the brakes, I was turning around and then I noticed it was making the creeking noise.

Now, whenever I drive it, it will make the noise on accel, when I go slow, and I think pretty much all the time...

I don't remember now... lol... but it certainly does it at start and if I let it creep in 1st it will make the noise. It sounds horrible!

id go shove it up the shops azz and tell them to pull it aprt and fix it right
