Default stil knocking..help!

well i recentely purchased a sye kit and it was installed, and wen i hit the accelerator and i start moving the drive shaft still sounds like its binding up. i have 5.5 in lift and wen i take off the rear sags a little at take off so that makes me think that the ujoints on the driveshaft are binding up..any suggestions?

Hmm....well if it's knocking when you start it's something differnt. See if your drive shaft is rubbing on anything.

Check the centering ball inside the double-cardan joint. Mine was making a clicking sound under acceleration.

I'm assuming your running a sye with a cv drive shaft. On the transfer case side drive shaft there will be 2 u-joints back to back. In the middle of the two u-joints there is a ball, spring, and a seal. this will help
