THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
Haha yeah i get that alot.
I have thought about having a friend drive while i kinda stick my head out and under the rear drivers door and see if i cant see or hear anything better...But i would have to be very careful...
That would also be a good way to see how much axle wrap im getting.
Oh, yeah! I gotcha now on that. Sorry for the confusion. You don't remove a sealing surface by removing the driveshaft. I figured my type driveshaft qualified for the "female" description since the shaft slips into the yoke. Giggity. So, yeah. I wouldn't worry about driving it without the rear drive shaft.
I would still exercise caution when driving it without though.
People just say "THIS IS SPARTA" and actually pretend to kick people into a well... Doesnt help when our highschool mascott was a Spartan haha.
Anyways, I spent about 4 hours under the jeep last night!
I found a couple things that i thought may have been the culprit...But turned out not to be.
I found that my jam nuts for upper control arms, had backed off and that made the arms kinda clunk around.
The rear driveshaft lower u-joint had a little play in it... So i changed it! and i got no change in the Vibe.
The 4x4 shift linkage makes a little noise where its hooked to the bracket in the tunnel. But i cant figure out how to disconect it from the tranny. (little plastic pieces)
The tail shaft bearing in the t-case has some play in it, But its not leaking or anything.
OHHH and i drove it in 4x4 with the rear drive shaft out and the noise was a lot more quite!! And for some reason it pulls to the right... Could mean i have some bad bushings somewhere.
Really? Oh Dear! Listen to Josh, he likes to think he knows what he's talking about either that or he has that dealership fooled pretty well!![]()
Thats what they make cruise control forAnd i didnt get a chance to put it up to a wall and check for the noise... I was by myself all day!!

Only counts on 95 and previous (you lucky guys also don't need an SYE for a few inches of lift unlike us with the 96 and later!) - as just mentioned, the slip yoke housing + TC tailhousing design was changed in 96.Alright, I know sarcasm doesn't translate well into text, but that's what my last post was.
When a seal does it's job, it seals off fluid from leaking. In order to do this, it needs a mating surface. In this case, the driveshaft slip yoke. Take away one of those two mating surfaces, a leak will develop. Which is why engineers put the seal there in the first place. If it weren't necessary, they woudn't put it there. I'm not trying to step on any toes here. I just know a little about the workings of vehicles.
EDIT: if it'll do it idling in gear with the front bumper against the brick wall, I can't really see any way that would run away from you, just be ready to scuttle out and run at any moment. With that much lift you should be able to crouch next to it and look at most of the stuff that'll cause this, in fact.
