I have a strange clunking going on. First symptom of the issue was a pop and a whir a week ago while driving straight about 45mph. Noise went away after. Was driving home from that location and had to get towed because of a consistent clunk. Was on a big circular off ramp and the jeep was clunking while going around it. Some nice jeeper stopped and we could get it to clunk going forwards and back while he pushed.
I thought the issue was u-joints. I replaced the u-joints in the front axle shafts and the rear drive shaft so far. I was driving in 4wd with only the front drive shaft for the time being and would get a clunk on sharp turns(parking) when I was in gear with the clutch pushed in. If I put the jeep in neutral, it would not make the same clunk.
I now have the rear shaft in and front out, in 2wd. Tonight, while parking, I got almost a grind but more of a clunk, seemingly from the front end. This happened in gear. I also happened to take a corner fast but put it in neutral. It made a similar sound but this seemed to be from under the tub.
I am about to install an sye. Could this be a t-case issue? Or, I think it could maybe be front diff. I need to open it. It is weird that it seems fine when driving straight or on the highway and then I have issues when turning like this. The original sounds were not while turning. It almost feels like something is binding.
Side note: I broke the retainer for the clips on my rear drive shaft so I had to order a used on from Davey. That is why I was in 4wd with only the front shaft. I replaced the diff side u-joint only on the used shaft since I am planning to use it for a short time.
