I have had an aussie in my D30 for about 6 months. Just recently on a wheeling trip when in 4wd be it lo or hi it will make this god awful humming sound with some sort of clicking, now when I turn it gets louder, and ONLY in 4wd. I opened it up to see if I see any shavings but no metal no nothing. All the springs are in place, the only thing I do notice is when I turn one wheel, there is a very small amount of play between the spring and the metal part of the halves, this play makes a small click, and you can see the peg has some wear on it. I was wondering if this was causing my issues or maybe a bad u-joint. Will I have to take the locker out in order to see if everything is in working order??
The locker works normally, when offroad there were several snow spots where both tires were churning, but no rocks to test the strength, and on road it ratchets just like it should. I am just stumped, its my DD and right now I have shafts lying on the garage floor so yeah no driving haha. I really appreciate the help!!!
