As I progress slowly through my build, I'm now at the point where I had to drive my '99 XJ home from the garage with the NP242 (Selec-Trac) TC in "4 Full Time" with no rear driveshaft installed (i.e., in "front wheel drive").
As I made my way home through city traffic, there was a loud and distinct "CLUNK-CLUNK" sound from somewhere in the front end under hard acceleration and under hard braking.
This noise was NOT present before the vehicle went in for the SYE.
The mechanic did note that he had found some play in the left front wheel u-joint, but given that the noise hadn't been present earlier, I'm somewhat dubious that the wheel is suddenly making that noise (and it sounds more like it's coming from a central location, rather than outboard).
Any ideas of what or how to check?
