When I use my Jeep in 4x mode lately I hear an all too familiar grinding noise. I've had my ARB put back together 3 times (4th is now due) due to screws coming loose, things coming apart, etc.
I pulled out my front magnetic fill plug to find this:
The one on the right is the new one I found stuck to the plug. The other 2 are from previous rebuilds. I've had this ARB (D30) put back together 3 times from 3 different shop over the last 7 years or so. I don't have the gearing know how so I leave this stuff to the pros.(?) Last time around all but 1 screw had back all the way out. I hate to see what it's going to look like this time around. Strangely enough the grinding noise I hear only occurs in 4 wheel drive (both when power is applied to the front axle & coasting), even though in 2x the gears and driveline spin anyways.
Is it that no one can get it right or is this just a common problem with ARB lockers???
