I’m having a really difficult time troubleshooting and need the collective advise from the lot of you.
Today I started hearing a noise emanating from what seems to be the area directly beneath my shifter from what i think is the Tcase / drive shaft area
What it is:
- both are intermittent, and only occurre a low speed or from a stop
Noise 1:
- Sounds like a ball peen hammer hitting a steel plate, I can feel it through my shifter. Subtle little ping,
Noise 2:
- A rotating metallic scraping sound, “chich-chich-chich-chich”
- The only thing i can even relate it to is when someone run out of brake pad and stops on bare rotors....or the sound off a heat shield rubbing on a rotor when it gets bent??
- it’s like something is rubbing on the rotating shaft, then when i get up to speed, past 20 mph, it disappears
- almost like something hanging is dinging off the driveshaft at times
This is the same noise, as recorded by someone on mud. Resolution was a u Joint.
I’m not well versed in drive train troubleshoting, so for those that are, please tell me what I should be looking for?
Really need a bone here, as im totally stumped. If it turns out to be UJoints I can do it, just don’t want to make it any worse
