Masterthe load you are carrying could be a factor. what was all replaced??
if it was not set up correctly, that would cause pre mature failure.Roy

mastertech6371, February 01, 2011, 19:39Masterok, i would check the carrier itself. if it is worn and the teeth mesh is off with the spiders, that will cause the failure.
i always recommend using oem parts. aftermarket parts don't always mix well with old parts in the rear.Flag This -
