Alrighty...im getting some knocking/thumping noises coming from my front axle ONLY when in 4WD. At first, i was pointing fingers at my locker as it sounds vaguely familiar to it ratcheting. Ive pulled it apart half a dozen times and confirmed its working properly...which it is, so that eliminates that possible cause.
The next thing i was thinking, is the front driveshaft. When i did my 4.5 RE lift is when the noises really started...im thinking the pinion angle isnt pointed up enough and is causing some sort of binding somewhere in the front shaft. Is there anyway to adjust it up more despite having fixed length upper and lower control arms(RE Superflex)?? Any other possible ideas what might be causing the noises?
Another question is...since this is a non-disconnecting axle, shouldnt i be hearing these noises when in 2WD too??
