At the start of the winter I tore down my old 89' Xj with a pretty sad unibody and did a 4wd conversion on my new 96' 2wd XJ with an amazing frame thanks to the Southern States.
Previous owner put a Rusty's 6.5" lift on the 2wd... ??
Long story short the 96' is now 4x4 thanks to the old girl donating her organs. Works well with the exception of some noise in the front drive shaft when 4x4 is engaged, hi or lo.
The best way I can describe it is a "fluttering" sound under throttle.
I apologize if this is an issue that has been beaten to death, but I honestly haven't come across this issue in my search. I've replaced one u-joint already and no change. Thinking I'll go ahead and do the other, but would like some other suggestions or scenarios.
The season is almost upon us and I'm scratching my head with this one, wondering if this is a common issue with the amount of lift. Rear Axle is shimmed and vibes are extremely minimal from the rear shaft.
Thanks
