Ive noticed alot of things at once wrong with my xj (or atleast think they are wrong)
1. a low hum/to a whine at certian speeds started about 3 weeks ago
the noise has gotten louder and to the point of afriad to drive
2. got under the jeep jacked up the rear and was checking with the drive shaft notice that when i move the driveshaft (was in park) had alot of play and that at the top (yoke?) seemed that the bear was worn was making a noise when i moved the shaft.
3. took off the right rear tire and noticed alot of play inside the axel in and out didnt go front to back was alot of play turning it back and forth (mind you it was still in park)
4. check my rear diff fluid and it seemed to be sorta thin, have been through some water obsticals and was stuck in some mud (no fluid leaks)
Ive been searching the forums for about the past week and have found scattered information of situations sorta like mine so i decided that a post was neccesary.
thanks!
