Hey all

So Leme start by giving you my set up then we shall get to the Noise.

The Setup

I have a 96 sport 4" Superlift 2"keys and 2"shackles 33x12.5 15 Firestone Destination M/Ts on 15x10 rims stock front drive shaft

The Noise
So here goes.. When I take off I have a popping/clicking till about 30 then it turns into a squeak/squeal. It sorta sounds like its coming from the driver side.. so I swapped out the driver side cv axle this morning and the noise is still there.. One more thing to note. no noise in reverse.

I am wondering if my front drive shaft is finally going.

Sound like a possibility?
 






Ok guys I figured it out... It was the centering ball/yoke in the double cardan portion of my front drive shaft.. So I changed out every part I could on the drive shaft and put her back in... No more noise..
