Why is that? do the fronts only engage with harder braking?

I just found it curious because my driving style hasn't changed, and I was doing 75 miles/day of freeway driving when my rears went out. I still had more than 70% of usable pad on the fronts at the time. Odd

I haven't had any ESP kicking in issues since I got my lift. That might be worth looking into...

Hey guys today I managed to rip apart my front Axel housing. If anyone knows of a replacement somewhere in town or in Phoenix could us let me know. Dana 30 or 44 doesn't matter just need to get back up and running. Thanks and pics soon to come.

I was out on a trail near 83 and I-10. I think we just hit a rut at the wrong angle but I am not really sure when it happened my wife was driving at the time.

The housing is the only damage I can see now but a complete axle couldn't hurt. Is Ken still around? I remember he was trying to get rid of a 30 but that was a while ago.
