Okay, my first post here.
Here's the back story and details:
I'm in the middle of a build-up on my '98 XJ, and I'm just about complete. However, I've installed an RE Hack&Tap SYE and am awaiting the delivery of my new custom rear DS. The OE rear DS has been pulled, and in the meantime I've been driving around in front wheel drive by putting the transfer case in part time 4HI (been doing this for about a week now). According to my research, this should be safe to do provided I have no lockers in the front(which I don't). This is an np231 TC.
So now I'm hearing a clicking noise when I move in reverse and turn the steering wheel. I believe it's only when I turn to the right (have to verify this). Also, I get a sort of "clunk" when I move from drive to reverse, and vice-versa.
Have I toasted my front diff???
TIA for any input!
