      Well ****. New rotors, pads and passenger side caliper. Pass side still hot as shit, drivers side cool to the touch. I drove the exact route as previous test drives. Out to the shop it goes, has to be something wrong with the passenger side end housing replacement. I have no other clue as to what could be wrong.

          Thanks dude! I just have to drop the car off at the shop. They are going to look at it and figure out what is wrong and repair free. There is an issue with that end housing they put on causing excessive heat.. LOL, I think I have less than 300 miles on my car this year...

            Drive that route in the opposite direction.
            Also. Is the axle bottoming out on the cross pin?

                    That is not how the BRA brotherhood supports (though I wish he listened to me too ).....looks like someone may need some sensitivity training


                    Had a couple for ya last night Larry....not sure if it helped, worked for me

                    Hope you get this thing figured out....

                      crosspin in the center of the diff. if they cut that axle tube a hair short when removing the old end maybe the shaft is bottoming out and the bearing is getting loaded when the bearing retainer is tightened

                        Well I know they ordered a shortened passenger axle just for this reason, but then they had to replace the end housing again. So it is possible they lost a little more and the shaft is to far in causing a load..

                          if that's the case, the fix might be just to grind a few thousandths off of the end of the axle shaft. Just might be a quick and easy fix. You definitely deserve one.
                          When in doubt, Whip it out !

                            That would sure be nice!

                            Edit: on a positive note I fixed my coolant leak. Heater hose was leaking..
