Need Help? Popping/Binding front end

BAMA99WJ · 06-30-2007, 11:37 AM

Hey guys,

Can't figure this one out?

I have a V8 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee that is popping/binding when in 4lo when and gas is applied.

The popping is coming from the drivers front.

In 2 wheel drive (I have a 242HD swap) not a sound. If you put it in 4lo and just let it roll, no sound.

When you put it in 4 lo or any 4 wheel drive position and give it gas POP,POP, POP!

I pulled the front differential cover an not metal, no missing teeth, functioning perfect....

Only thing I can figure is that it is the front drivers side cv axle shaft??

Oh, the front drive shaft is a tom woods and it is TIGHT to the differential... No play in out or up and down..

What do ya'll think?

This is a loud POP,POP,POP sound, no whine...?
