89 Limited, auto AW4.
I noticed while driving the jeep a loud hum coming from the front area of the jeep. I already know I have a toasted passenger side U joint and am going to replace that asap. However, this hum is loud and consistent. It happens any time the vehicle gets past about 15 mph.
Today I also tested the 4wd by putting it in 4wd hi and I could hear the bad joint. When shifting the vehicle back into 2wd there was a loud clunk and then binding followed by two or three more loud clunks. The vehicle then went back to just the hum I explained earlier.
What should I look for in the front diff? What else should I be inspecting and preparing to replace/swap out?
