I came across a deal too hard to pass up. A loaded 2000 XJ for $900 thinking i could make a few quick fixes. Got it on the intrerstate and it is extremely loud, coming from the rear axle. I have a very limited amount of mechanical knowledge. I was going to take off the rear driveshaft and replace the u-joints on it to see if that helpes any. I then sheared off 3 of the 4 bolts holding the straps and of course the shaft ended up breaking free from the last strap. I plan on taking off the diff tomorrow but what besides metal shavings or obvious signs of damage do i need to look for before i replace the axle?
As you can see, the yoke has been leaking. The front axle yoke also leaks, trasmisson light is also on. Part time light stays on all the time tll even though it doesnt feel like it is in 4wd all the time. Like i said 2000 xj transfer case has full time 4wd, dana 35/30 from what i can tell, roughly 175k. From Ohio so there is some rust. Probably not been maintained well in recent times.
