Ok read another thread on here that didn't post a solution so need to ask again. 06 LJR 100k miles. I get a ratcheting sound from the front end at parking lot speeds and making turns. Usually louder when hot. So far I've replaced U-joints in the rear drive shaft and front axle shafts. I've removed the front drive shaft and still get the noise.
I jacked up the driver side tire with the drive shaft disconnected and spun it by hand and can hear a clicking from the carrier or bearing. Sounds like the auto locker in my cj but I don't think the rubicon lockers should be making any noise. I cycled the lockers front and rear and still hear it. Tired of throwing parts at it. Has anyone had this on a rubicon and found the problem? Thanks
