one thing it could be which would be an easy fix, check your muffler isnt to close to your driveshaft. i had a bent hanger(dont no how) and so my muffler was slightly touching my driveshaft making a metal on metal noise. almost sounded like sand in my brakes.

Check the universals I had the same problem with my wrangler. They didn't feel loose at all but when I replace them all the needle bearings were jacked up. New universals= problem solved.
