well i just got an AA sye installed and tomwoods driveshaft for a 4.5 in lift and now i have a slight grinding in my rear, it sounds like its comin from my differential and i can really hear it around turns im not sure what it could be from. it wasnt happening before the lift or sye

It's your LSD. If you changed your gear oil, then you need to get a bottle of friction modifier and add it to the rear diff. It grinds because the gear oil doesn't have the proper lubricity to properly engage the clutches. It's clutch chatter. It will go away with the additive...... :lecture:
 
I too believe it is in the LSD. If it only happens when it goes around turns it would seem to be the likely culprit. Why it happend with the lift install I don't know...

Now you've put me on the spot. I should rephrase. Common on the XJ's my friends own 99 sport/98 Limited/97 classic. Could be coincidence, or me talking out of my butt.
My 97 with 8.25 came with factory LSD, its not listed as an option on my spec sheet.
