Thanks. I checked a couple local junk yards who have their inventory online. Found a couple axles, providing gear ratio's match, however both I found have high miles, over 200k. Wonder if I'm getting back into the same situation with installing high mileage axle?
But then I guess anything is...
Thanks for the clarification.. you may have saved a few folks!
I took my drive shaft off today and ran it down the road in 4x4 mode. The noise was 100% gone! So it was for sure the rear-end. I had lateral play (in and out) of the pinion yoke. I took a big a$$ break bar and tightened the pinion...
I will do that tomorrow hopefully. Was planning to drop the drive shaft today and see if yoke was loose, but it rained today so I hung out in the dry today.
I checked both front wheel bearings, they are tight. When I put the Jeep in neutral, the roar stops completely, so feel like it has to be something in the drive train.
2001 XJ 4x4, 151k miles, 100% stock. I have a very distinctive loud roar. I think have enough info for someone here to help diagnose:
Roar is present when:
- Decelerating in a straight line or corning left (loudest at 40-mph or under)
- Left turns in curves (at speeds 10-mph or above)
- Pretty...
