Default Bad transfer case output shaft bearing?

I think that I have a bad front output shaft bearing on my NP231. It's either that or u joints....here's a video I made of it.

drop the driveline check the u-joints and see if they're seized. why the drive shaft is down spin the yoke and see if you still hear the noise.

I haven't pulled the shaft yet, I'll have to do that tomorrow when I have time to. Basically I'm getting a clunking and popping sound when driving.

Default Ujoints

Did you ever figure out if that was the output bearing or the u-joint as I have the exact same sound coming from my 94 xj?
