The ADD disconnects the drivers side from the passenger side axle.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Oh, I had no idea about the ADD disconnecting the driver's side from the passenger's! I had assumed the driver's side would be making the passenger's axle spin. Well, that's great to know. That means there's no hurry at all for me to pull the axle out. All I need to do is secure it.

Mojo, we'll let you know when we do it. Sounds like we're going to have a regular axle clinic! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
