I've noticed my front drive shaft making noises in 4wd. Exspcially while in 4 lo. I can rotate the front driveshaft by hand about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. Any ideas. Can it be u-joints? I'm taking it to stealership it's under warranty But I'm not off till Friday! Pls help.

Don't do anything to it, the stealership will blame you just to deny warranty

leave it in 2wd and make a bee line to stealership at slow speed. Take pictures
for your records.

Have you crawled underneath to take a look at it? Ripped boot with a bunch of grease spitting out? A ring of grease on the undercarriage above the joint?

The front driveshaft is always spinning, regardless of being in 2wd or 4wd. If it is making noise, pull it off until you can get it replaced...

Stealership says it's normal.
