I'll get right to it. Just bought an 05 KJ with 127K, pristine body, and runs perfectly. Problem is the front diff is probably shot.
I noticed that the front driveshaft was missing when purchased. Found a driveshaft at the yard, installed it, then took the Jeep for a test drive.
There was a noticeable grinding in the front after that. Especially when accelerating. The grinding seems to be just forward of the gas pedal.
Before I go tearing the front diff out, is there a way to test for sure if it's the front diff making that noise?
