Good Crack in the Front Axle Shaft Housing

[Jason in DLH]

Thought this might amuse you all...

I knew I drive hard, but not THIS hard!

I found a new AC Delco one for $170 that I’ll order up.

And here I thought I was done working on this thing for awhile.

If anyone has any suggestions before I tear into this I’m all ears!

 

[Kelsda]

Wow what did you hit to cause this

 

[wjburken]

Wow what did you hit to cause this

The accelerator!

 

[Jason in DLH]

The accelerator. Haha!

Oh, that’s great! I wrote that exactly when you did! Haha!

That's a first for me. Hard launch on a sticky race track?

 

[OR VietVet]

I've told you a hundred times, that is not a lift point for your floor jack!

Nope...just have to beat the grandma off the line at the traffic light

But I thought you told me that was a perfect lifting point!?

So can anyone tell me where and what Axle Shaft Seal I would need for this particular housing...

For 2007 Yukon Denali AWD with NR3 Transfer Case and GU6 (3.42 ratio). Mind as well do as much preventative maintenance while it’s apart.

 

[gat0r]

were you doing

reverse burnout in a boosted AWD.

? LOL

as that damage looks similar to Rocket man's

Hell, I don't know, I could have.....I was drunk at the time.

I think it is this one: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=9113920&cc=1433256&jsn=2415

Post the last 8 digits of your VIN and hopefully @915_Tahoe will chime in to verify.

Y'all hear that? It sounds like @Rocket Man cringing.

Front drive PTSD is real.

I also snapped the CV joint on the driver side but yep it happens. Reverse launch FTW!

To me, there are good cracks and there are bad cracks.

This one looks like the bad kind, to me.
