UHHH OHHHH whats those noises???
So of course jeeps are noisy but I got some bad ones going on here.
Note: My phone's mic makes things seems about 20x louder than they are sometimes.
The first video is my rear axle. I just changed out my gear oil so it's full and I'm not sure if I've ever noticed it before. I'm spinning the wheel hub as fast as I can. At first I thought it was the wheel bearing but then I noticed it was coming from the diff. It's on the passenger side axle because from the driver side I can barely hear it. Is it possible something got in the diff when I was cleaning/changing oil or is that some kind of bearing?
The next has happened since I put on my lift. It happens when I go over bumps and ot sounds as though my wheel is going to fall off but everything is tight. I've checked the wheels, shocks, sway bar, coils, motor mounts and tranny mounts. Anybody have a clue what it could be? At first I thought it was coming from the driver side but now it sounds like the passenger side or the middle. I did add a t case drop for my lift so I'm afraid I messed up something there, I don't know.
HELPPPPP

first video. have you pulled the cover and looked at it? should be done first and then if you dont visually see something start asking questions. kinda sounds like a spider gear issue.
second video. have you looked at your transmission mount?

could just be me but it sounds like the track bar bouncing at the ball joint. mine does the same thing. try to shake the track bar at the frame side mount. if it clunks it is time for a new bar.

you would be surprised at how hard it is to check if something in your front end is loose. you cannot do it by hand. the only way is to have someone cycle the steering back and forth and look for play. I had the same noise and it ended up being that i need more shims in my driver side lower control arm and my track bar bushing at the frame mount. i could grab both those peices and shake all my weight into it (250+) and they didnt move. the second i had someone turn the wheel, i could see the play at both spots.

you know i've been meaning to ask about that, my exhaust is resting on the crossmember because the PO cut that mount off for whatever reason. I dont have any noises from that area though. Should i worry about it?
