I was coming back from the junk yard today when i herd a clackin noise coming from the rear of my jeep, so i pulled over to check it out but my ujoint seem fine, no whenever i let off the gas i hear a deep humm and every once in a while a clackin noise, it only dose it when i let off the throttle. Im considering getting ujoints tommorow.

Lift up the axle onto jackstands, put the tcase in N and spin the shaft by hand and see if you can hear the sound (don't forget to secure the front wheels!!)

sounds like the pinion bearing or the u-joint. just replace the u-joint, it's worth the $12 and 1/2 hour to be sure it's not that.

Just replace the u-joints, to be sure you need to drop the shaft anyway.
U-Joints can get stiff way before they get loose.

ok i know this is an old thread but i thought id give you guys an update, i pulled the diff cover off 2 weeks ago and found out that the center pin came loose and that was what was making the clunking noise, the humming noise came from the pinion being badly chipped
