Noise after lift...What next?

Will I be able to see the ring gear teeth by just pulling the cover off?

Front is a pain to pull the cover, have to remove the front mount etc to get into it

would using an endoscope through the fill or drain hole help? that way you wont need to go through the trouble.

Just noticed the other day that I installed both my clevis's backwards when doing my lift and not there is not much space between rear boot on driver's side cv axle. Running the clevis backwards wouldn't affect anything though correct?

Some aftermarket "new" CV axles are the wrong length,common issue and when your lifting/lowering a vehicle they will bind if to long and even if to short(most common).

What if maybe the original axle I removed was wrong length to begin with and the new aftermarket on is the same length and causing the same noise. Would the wrong length axle cause noise at stock height as well or just when lifted? How much difference in length is typically seen here? You think I should try a reman Napa and compare lengths?
