Grind/Click Sound - Front Axle
97XJ Sport w/Dana 30 front axle. Noticed a few days ago an unusual
noise during slow speed tight turns. Parked the Jeep and used the
daughters car to finish up last week of work. Now that I'm on
vacation, I jacked up the jeep yesterday, and it sounded like the
brake pads ( the vehicle was inspected a couple of months back, and
they passed it with a note that the pads would need to be replaced
soon). So, wife drives into the city and picks up new pads on her way
home from work. I replace them, and I'm still getting the noise on the
passenger side when I spin the tire. Does it with the vehicle lifted
and when the tires are straight. This same noise was also made when
the vehicle was on the ground/stationary, and turning the steering. I
replaced the hub assy last fall. I looked at the u-joint, and didn't
notice any play...but, I know looks can be deceiving.
Any thoughts? Am I looking at replacing the u-joint, or do I
have a defective hub assy?
Thnks,
Eric in NNY

I would cut the wheels hard to the side and then hand spin the wheel
while feeling the u-joint...
