1988 XJ 4.0 100% stock. I searched but did not find a solid answer like I normally do so I have to ask.....
While driving I hear clicking and feel resistance from the front drive train. (I have the Dana 30 stock diff).
If you raise the front end up and spin the wheels the front drivetrain clicks, sounds like the diff.. If you put the transfer case in neutral and spin the tires, no sound at all. Front end is good and tight, no play anywhere. So the question is, is the clicking the front drive shaft or the diff, 165k on the heep, just bougt it and have only put 1K on it.
I do not understand why when the transfer case is in neutral and no clicking noise when you spin the front tires, and yes I am sure the noise is not the transfer case.
Second question.... if the pinion gear and other gear is trashed, I want to put a front locker on. Any recommendation on the brand, and should I convert to a non-disco set-up?:wierd: Not sure if I worded that correctly but I think you get the idea.
