Here is the story, my brother bought a 97 XJ for parts. It was a 4 cylinder 5 speed so it had an 8.25 rear with 4.10 gears. It came with no motor and the guy he bought it from bought it from someone else and he didnt know much about it. My brother then bought an 01 XJ that was already lifted but the front end was making noise. So we decided to swap the axles. We swapped the front over and put new ball joints on all ends and swapped axles as the donor xjs axles were iffy. We then swapped the rear over and on the test drive whenever he pressed the gas the rear end would growl or grumble. As soon as he let off it was quiet. The speed of the noise increases with speed. Nothing is rubbing. What could it be? I'm thinking pinion angle. Any other ideas? Gear oil was changed.
Thanks!
