92 XJ AW4/NP231 155K
I have a creaking sound coming from the transfer case area on my 92 XJ when accelerating from a stop (more often when also turning left and accelerating from a stop) that I thought was a U-joint going so I replaced both U-joints in the rear driveshaft but the sound is still there. fluid in the NP231 was at the correct level and I replaced the fluid as well as a fluid change in the AW4. sound is still there
would the rear output bearing in the NP231 going bad make this type of sound? the sound is kinda like a door opening slowly in a scary movie and sounds like a bad bearing of some sort to me. there is a considerable amount of play in the output shaft from the transfer case (up/down movement) but I am not sure how much play is acceptable?
I checked out the transmission mount and it looks to be solid but I also did not take it out to really get a good look at it but this sound makes me think driveline
any help greatly appreciated
