94 zj front drive noise NEED HELP
Driving to work yesterday I started hearing a noise from the front driveline it only starts when speed is above 30 mph.
It doesn't get louder with accel but is very noisy when coasting.
Any help would be awsome

Have you looked at the driveshaft yet? Could be the ujoints or slip joint, could be something rubbing on the shaft, you have the vehicle in your hands.

Take it on a straight away, steer left and right, does the noise change? If you steer left and it gets lounder its a right side wheel bearing, if you steer left and the noise all but disappears, its left side wheel bearing.

Thanks for all the input. I drove it yesterday and when I got home the driver side rotor and hub was smoking so I have narrowed it down to a bearing or the cv axel. If I take the drigveshaft out it makes no noise at all drive just fine so I'm thinking its the cv axel
