front end noise

[mcafferty]

I have a 93 explorer with 180K on it. it has been great to me but i need alittle help. i was having problems with my auto hubs clicking and popping in and out so i went to the local junk yard to see if i could find some replacements. they had a 93 with warn manual lockers on it so i said what the heck and took those. they were only $18. needless to say i was very happy. i installed them and they seemed to take care of the problem. but...

when i turn my wheels over i would say 1/4 there is clicking and loud noises. like stuff is binding up. this is on a gravel road i know about driving on dry pavement. when i was under there i also noticed that the drive shafts to the front tires had a lot of play in them. the u joint were very loose. i dont know if they are meant to be like that or not. i also noticed that my front diff was dry but i am having a hell of a time getting fluid in it. it seems to just run back out the hole.

any help would be great or links to helpful threads. not sure of all the correct terms so not having much luck searching. thanks...

If you install manual hubs from auto hubs you need the conversion kit you can get one at napa for like 60 bucks
