I can hear a binding noise when I am driving slow coming from under my vehicle. I narrowed it down to be coming from the transfer case. I checked the fluid, and there was plenty. I tried to wiggle the driveshaft and it had a small amount of play. That means my U-joints are bad right? Sometimes while going from a stop there is a clunk under the truck around the time that it shifts gears. The tranny fluid is full and red. Would bad U-joints cause any binding sounds or clunking while driving? Please Help, thanks.
