I have a 2001 XJ, 3" lift, T-case drop, 105K miles. Recently I heard a noise that sounds like a grinding up front. I didn't want to mess with it, so I took it in and had it checked, they said the front end bearings etc. were fine, that it sounded like the T-case. They tore into the T-case, found a bearing, fixed it, put it back together and still has the noise. They tell me they have no idea what is wrong, and it may just be that the T-case has too many miles and will just keep grinding (if that is even what it is, as I thought it was from the front left)? I have been through some deep water lately, but changed front and rear diff, just to make sure. I know you guys know your stuff. Any ideas??
Thanks.
