Gotta question. What would be damaged if a person was driving their Jeep around in part time 4x4 for months? That's what the previous owner was doing, and I get this vibrating clunking in the front area everytime I brake. I know the brakes are good because I checked them out today --calipers, pads, rotors...all good. Would it just be the bearings or something more that was damaged?

Well, it's strange, because I drive it just fine, gives me no problems driving it, or when I put it in 4x4, full time or part time. I just get the clunking when I brake, and I get a click from the wheel hub area when I accelerate from a stop.

I may just head out to the junkers and pull another axle tomorrow. It'd be just as cheap as getting new parts here or there.
