Re: Hopping
Thanks for your input. No popping noise, kind of a wearing or rubbing
noise. I don't know about the jacking history (purchased used), but, I
noticed after I bought, that there are two "tow hitches?" in the FRONT
of the vehicle. The transfer case and trany fluids have been changed
recently. No mention of loss of fluids.

This is on road. Only happens when warmed up, riding on road for a while.
