On my mostly stock (upcountry) 89 cherokee, when I'm in 4-Hi and turn right, I get a scraping/clunking noise that sounds like my exhaust is hitting something. I looked under it the other day and sitting on level ground, the front U-Joint has about a hair's clearence between the downpipe and the U-Joint itself. I imaginie when I turn right, the jeep flexes enough and the front driveshaft is moving so it hits the downpipe.
What would cause this? A couple mm of clearence just doesn't seem right (you couldn't stick a penny through it).
