Axle problems -- Help again!
00 XJ LTD popping issue continued:
The popping is getting far worse. Much louder and doesn't wait for the axle
to warm up. New developments:
1. The shoes weren't touching the drums.. fixed that. Sprayed some silicone
lubricant on the drum components to get them lubed up. Didn't help.
2. Drove up and down the street and can barely hear it outside the cab.
Easier to hear with the windows up.
3. Had my wife drive past me while stopping so I could listen (hmm..
should've had that insurance policy cancelled..). She couldn't get it to
repeat and I couldn't hear it.
4. I actually climbed in the cargo area with the liftgate up (Darwin awards,
here I come) and had her SLOWLY drive down the street and stop while I hung
my head out the back. Only heard one pop, and more heard it coming from
under the cargo area than from the back. Sounded like it was concentrated on
the driver's side.
That's all I could get. The axle shaft on the driver's side moves in and out
(heard that's normal on the 8.25) AND up and down a bit (with a clunk). Does
that mean the bearings are bad??? How much is that to get fixed??
Thanks a bunch guys.

Hi Eric,
I can't think of a way an axle will make a "popping" sound other
than a limited slip without the friction modifier:
http://www.----------.com/frictionModifer.jpg and if there uneven wear
on the rear tires it would snap going straight ahead.

Re: Axle problems -- Help again!
It doesn't pop except when stopping (I can't guarantee it's the axle..
that's where the sound is coming from, though). I'm positive the limited
slip has the friction modifier -- I put it in myself.
Should the axle shaft move up and down (just a tiny bit) when I pull up on
the lugs?

Re: Axle problems -- Help again!
It doesn't pop except when stopping (I can't guarantee it's the axle..
that's where the sound is coming from, though). I'm positive the limited
slip has the friction modifier -- I put it in myself.
Should the axle shaft move up and down (just a tiny bit) when I pull up on
the lugs?

Re: Axle problems -- Help again!
Hi Eric,
You're putting it back in the brakes. like the shoes, are not seated
on the anchor stops, maybe an emergency brake cable is too tight and
holding them off to rotate.
You should not feel any up and down movement, but with the "C" clip
axles it would take a micrometer to detect the difference.
