Grinding noise when letting off gas.
Whenever I let off the gas, I get a grinding noise from beneath me. I have no front shaft in and it's the stock rear shaft. It's got about 7 inches in the back and yes I know i need an sye but there's barely vibes. Probably from the long arm cross
Member dropping it a bit. But when I let off the gas, it only happens sometimes and lasts about a second. Imgunna assume it's the u joints in the rear drive shaft but I want a second opinion just to be safe. Happens around 40 mph

I have the sye, I couldn't for the life of me get my tcase off my tranmy. I had a friend help also that's done it before but it was probably the worst 2 hours of my life. I'm definitely gunna try it again but it sucks.

its your yoke being to far out of the t case causing it to have some slack when its not loaded up from accelerating or deceleration. my 98 dose the same thing im not to worried about it for now.

I have a 3 inch Lift with 31s and I get the same problem.
When I let off the gas not only do I get the grinding noise but I also get the feeling off a rough jerk. Like the XJ hit a mini wall. Haha hard to explain but it feels like it decreases speed too fast.

what year do you have, 1997-2001 xjs are prone to driveline vibrations. even with three inches i had an annoying vibration. i dropped my transfer case about 3/4 of an inch and everything went away. you could probably check your u joints also as the vibrations could tip an already worn joint over the edge.
The noises don't happen so much until i reach about 40mph
