Hey guys I am getting a rotational clicking cracking sound coming from the front if my jeep only when in 4wheel drive on steep hills. I have checked front drive shaft joint and it is fine also axle shaft unjointed are good.

 

Anyone have any thoughts

 

Mine did this but it was my front drive shaft. I slung all th grease out of it running a 4" lift and 11" travel shocks.

 

X2 for the driveshaft... Had this happen on my last Jeep... If that's not it I'm not sure...

 

I have a coast 1310 drive shaft on the front. I inspected it and it has no issues.

 

What is the likely hood that this is a chipped spider gear or chipped ring and pinion?

 

anyone bump

 

My 2010 started doing this when the drive shaft boot ripped and was clicking when the broken piece was turning and hitting.

 

shot in the dark here but is it possible that you have a bad U-joint at either wheel? The U-joint might be lodged into a position that prevents it from making noise during normal operation. Just a shot in the dark hope you find the gremlin soon though.

 

Yea this is driving me crazy.
