Came out of fins and had a tic noise, kinda like the drive shaft was knocking something, but it's solid hadn't been hit. Tried playing around in the parking lot low speed. 4wd or 2wd it was there, most noticed in reverse.
So we started driving to camp and it was far worse at about 35mph+ but not completely constant. This had me puckered up because I didn't know if something in the T case was bad, or if it was the diff. Hard deceleration and any acceleration it was very pronounced. We got to a site and I took the front shaft out, nothing unusual. We ended up moving 25yds to a better camp, I think it was still knocking.
This AM I pulled the shafts and put the stubs in. The driverside hub did have play in it. Omw to Moab again hopefully theres a hub on stock somewhere.
Now I write because I'm driving and No noise currently. I don't know if its the hub or if I smoked something in the front diff. I plan to pull the cover tonight, no means of fluid retention yet.
I drove down here I need to be able to drive home.
What else can I do to diagnose, other than pulling the cover?
Any thoughts as to this sound?
Greatly appreciative for any help.
