Yesterday after pulling out of the store, i noticed a clunking noise above 30mph and gets faster the faster i went. when i let off the gas it goes away though. i shook the tire to see if its a wheel bearing, and it didnt move. i took the front ds off to see if it was a u joint, and it still does it. i did notice the front driverside lca bolt was a lil loose so i tightened it up but it still did it. i ended up taking the lca off and the greaseable end has a lot of play to it (rc adjustable lca). could this be causing the issue?

any help would be greatly appreciated, im stumped....

 

Do you have Rock sliders. Might sound weird but I had the same exact issue. It ended up being my body mounted sliders were hitting the frame. Funny thing is ,it only did it when I was on the gas.

 

no i dont have any yet, on the list of things to get


im also wondering if it could be the cv's in the rcv shafts?
they're only 4 months old and have plenty of grease

 

since only does it under power, i wonder if it could be the rear ds?

 

Could possibly be the cv in the rear driveshaft. Start by taking it off and put your TC in 4-hi that way you can have front wheel drive at the point and take it around block and see if the noise is gone

 

i took it to the local offroad shop today ORi, so they can figure it out and do a few other things i had layin around waiting to go on

the front of the tcase was leaking so im hoping that the bearing didnt go and the slap is the sound of a stretched chain

 

pulled the diff cover off the rearend and the pinion shaft has some play, and the ring gear is missing 5 or 6 teeth...

 

Stock or aftermarket?
