I have a 94 flame red xj that I absolutely love and plan on driving forever, but it is only just getting broken in at 175,000 miles and over the past 10,000 or so there has been a knocking coming from the drivetrain somewhere.
Basically, when I am off the power and when it is coasting and gets slow enough (10mph and under) it starts knocking. I changed the U-joints in the rear shaft a while back and the bearings in one of them had turned to dust, but it didn't help. I have been under there and twisted the front one by hand and it doesn't seem loose, but the knock becomes subdued in 4wd. Anyway, not knowing anything about anything, I thought it might have to with the transfer case and maybe a chain replacement or a completely new t-case (which probably needs to be done anyway). Anyway, I would appreciate any thing you guys may have for advice.
I have caught the urge to modify my jeep from reading about your rigs. Right now, it is completely stock and the water pump is the only thing I have had to replace in 175k, so I am pretty impressed. I guess my short list for mods are 2.5-3 in lift, winch bumper, top rack and lights. Anyway, jeep on.
