Clunking/bearing sound
Ok I have a 97 XJ, I don't have a lift but I put 30 in tires on it and I am getting a clunking sound and a bearing sound in the front end which I'm thinking it's the drive shaft. I replaced all u joints on it and it still happens. Do I need to do a transfer case drop to solve this problem just because I put bigger tires on it? I'm lost and don't know what to do next.

No I just did the joints on the drive shaft. When I disconect the front drive shaft it Dosn't make any sound only makes the sound when I have the front drive shaft connected its a noticeable clunking sounds and the bearing/squealing sounds is only when I go above 40. Over 50 is when I get the huge vibration.
