Hi guys
On thye front of my 73 power wagon lies a closed knuckle dana 44. Locking hubs. 8 lug pattern. I think it uses king pins? You can look at the pic of my knuckles to be sure though. My problem is this. Last weekend was out wheeling, came back looked at the front end and the drivers side tire was slanted towards the truck at about a 10 deg angle. Jacked up that side and could wiggle the tire back and fourth. This produced a clunking noise. Other side did the same but no so much. What causes this. What needs to be replaced or where should I start looking. I have searched on dana 44 closed knuckles and got nothin. Any help would be fantastic.
Here is the link to my pics. In the axles section you can see the top og the knuckles. The four bolt cover is what I think is hiding the king pin or ball joints. You can also take a look at the rig to.
