my xj has been lifted 3 in. for about 1.5 yrs & just recently i was noticin some mechanical whining noise, so while investigating the usually suspects.. (u-joints, leaking axle bearings, diff fluid levels & OMG..
While lookin @ my 231 t-case (non SYE); 1" drop-kit.
i noticed some (about 3 or 5) small hairline cracks on the rear output shaft cover/ housing that run sorta horizontal & radially from the rear output shaft seal area toward the main case..
is this a common problem of 3" lifted rigs w/out a SYE i thought the driveline vibes were the only issue, not my case comin apart.. whats the fix?; a SYE, i hope it'll be that simple...
back to the noise issue.. the mechanicall whinning seems to be pulling on the engine a bit.. (only noticable while its in motion, it kinda sounds like when the power steering pump is whinning w/ the steering @ full lock..
its always somethin i swear...
pleez hep me...
