Im having this rolling/grinding/clicking type noise coming from under the jeep most noticeable when in the jeep windows up. At first i thought it was the front axle but its completely silent. I can drive around with my front drive shaft out and there is no noise what so ever. Soon as i put the front drive shaft in the noise is back, regardless if im accelerating or decelerating, seems to make noise as long as that front shaft turns.
So if its not the front axle, my driveshaft was checked out and its fine, fluid level is fine, then it has to be something with the front axle side of my transfercase, its definitely not coming from the rear driveshaft side. I know nothing about working on transfercases so i just assume its a bearing of some sort that is bad and makes noise when there is a little bit of drag on it? I have done a SYE to my transfercase before and thats the most ive done on them, which was fairly easy and that doesnt change anything with the front side of transfercase either so i dont think something got messed up during that. I did notice the front driveshaft side tcase yoke seal has a little bit of fluid leaking out and down the tcase.
If anyone has any ideas what i should do next or what it could be that would help a lot, whether if there is a bearing that could be the culprit and could be replaced or if i most likely need another transfercase or something, thanks.
