What the heck is that noise?

98 4.0 TJ Sport

U-joint?

Any help is much appreciated.

Too many moving parts on that side to be able to narrow it down with a 4 second video. I suggest to get a grease gun and get underneath and start hitting all of the fittings.

Thanks for the replies.

Update: Hitting all the grease points didn't work.

Turned out to be control arms and bushings.

Be sure the front shaft is ok regardless-

Everyone on this forum with the TJ that has not had the front stock shaft rebuilt or serviced needs to consider it-

Grease dries out-

Failing front shafts are catastrophic. They take out the transfer case usually.
