Will need to pull it apart to confirm it, but I'm sure that's what broke on the front right of the M37.
No hard running today, and it made some noise, but fortunately I was taking off on the trail from a dead stop when it let go. It locked up the wheel so I had to pull the flanges to let the wheels roll.
But then could not turn right as the joint was in a bind and preventing steering movement. Had to lock the front axle in and roll back a little then forward to get it out of the bind so I could steer. was able to get off the trail and back on the trailer in rear wheel drive.
Wondering if I missed anything during the winter tear down or if the lockers added that much extra stress. I only use them when needed and not at high speeds, and engage when not under load.
Oh well something else to work on. Now to get it apart and get parts (axle probably) and get it back together for the Labor Day weekend.
Thanks,
Will
