Dreaded clunk when turning

Best bet is just to find another 7.25 rear. Your carrier is bad, can be replaced but your bearings are now contaminated with pretty hard material from the spider gears. It can be saves but must be flushed out and spiders replaced.

Here is requested Post #7

"...For all to know- MOTIVE premium open spider gear set for Chrysler 7.25 w/25 spline axles & 9"cover- part #C7.25BI- DID fit my rear end casting #2970051. Haven't driven it yet but everything was a perfect fit. You must use the axle remover which is like a huge dent remover- rented from O'Reilly's. Just wanted to be sure I posted this in case some are running the weaker 7.25 rear end. Thanks for all the help. Joel The seller was "drivetrainlasvegas"on Ebay...."

Sometimes you can pull these axles using a tire and rim and running the nuts until they are almost off. Then pull on the tire sharply and the slide action to the lug nuts will shock the axles to pop out. May take a few times. If it were a 8.75, I would have everything you needed minus the carrier in the mail tomorrow from a 1 legger core I got in the garage.
