Ok fellers I have been having an issue and decided to break down and see what the good folks at has to say. Here is the most detailed way I can put this issue:
Jeep was having a grinding popping type sound with it in 4wd when turning. so I brought it in the garage and jacked it up and put it on 4 jackstands and had the wife "drive" it while I looked at the rotating assebly. When the axles would chatter was when it was turned to the left and it acted like it would of it it had a locker in it. the inside tire would roll with minmal chatter and the outer tire would be almost stopped and would jump. It only does this while in 4wd.
I have checked the front ujoints and the front wheel bearing assembly. I removed the front cover and rolled the diff gears around and looked for any shavings or broken teeth and have none.
I have removed the axle shafts and inspected the splines on it as well. I have no clue what this is and its driving me crazy.
Could the gears backlash if over or under cause a chatter that would act like that?
