Per your profile you have a 4" lift with stock drivetrain. Your DS's only have so much time before they fail. I would definitely be checking your DS U joints as well. Can you get someone to cycle the steering while you get up front to see if you can isolate the sound?

Had someone do this already....Maybe like a month ago now tho :-\ We thought it was my LOOSE track bar. We tightened it up and it got rid of the sound for maybe a quarter mile. It don't make the sound just going straight. If it were on the DS it would make the noise all the time. But I do need to replace my DS cuz their still stock but. I don't have anyone near me to help either. When I get some extra cash I'll have to take it to the dealer. Till then I guess no wheeling for me.

Found the noise is coming from the front drive shaft where it enters the transfer case.... No grease in that joint....
Anyone got a 1310 or 50 shaft for sale?

From what it sounds, it can be the u-joint. I also suggest tightening the driveshaft hub nut on the side making the noise. Its doesn't cost anything and might be the fix
