Default play in front driveshaft.

I have play in my front coast driveshaft where it meets the transfer case. It just does not have any play on the pumkin side. I also have a clicking sound only when in 4lo.

Sounds like the cardigan joint is bad. Send it back to be repaired.

It would click in 2 WD and in high range if it was a Cardin joint. Pull the driveshaft off and see if the clicking goes away in low range. Takes 10 minutes to pull it off.

I will give it a try this week. While it off should i check the the torque on the nut that hold the yoke on? this problem is driving me crazy.
