I was sure I had a blown hub when i heard poping from pass, front while in 4wheel drive. I've a '95 xj with np231 tc.
I pulled the hub today for inspection, and was suprised to see nothing wrong.the splines look fine on both the hub, and the axel shaft.
As i was playing with the axel shaft it just slipped out! I thought that there was a clip to prevent this. should i be worried?
the poping noise is coming from the universal joint, I am not sure if i can do this now.
this may be a stupid thought, would it be better to run the jeep w/o the passenger side front axel shaft for a week or so...opposed to the joint breaking on the road potentially causing even more carnage.
there is ice and snow in the forecast. and good three wheel drive is better than
my options now.
Im concerned if I try to fix the joint today, and break something, I'll be really done for. I need the jeep-no other transportation and i gotta work.
suggestions would help a great deal, thanks
