Hello,
I had this clicking and grinding noise in my Jeep near the front left axle area. I had the left front axle replaced and the noise was still there. Then I was told it was a transfer case issue, so I had the transfer case replaced about 2 weeks ago. I engaged 4 HI right after that and the noise appeared to be gone. So today I engaged 4 HI just to see if any noise appeared and it did. It sounds like a clicking noise every time the axle rotates. Keep in mind this test was done on just wet pavement not on snow. When in regular mode ( rear wheel drive only ) there is no clicking noise. When I did the 4 HI test I only drove about 200 feet and at about 5 MPH. Any ideas what it could be?
Thanks,
Jim
