Hiya Guys,
Need some help and advice please,
After loads of researching and trying lots if different things on my 2004 4.0L TJ I reckon its got to be "Angry Sparrows".
The Chirpy/squeaky noise is definitely from the front and underneath, definitely nothing to do with the engine,
I had a look under my Jeep last weekend, with the front wheels jacked up i gave the front driveshaft a good pull and push and there's no play at all.
So I'm thinking is it a dry centering ball in the front driveshaft,
Tried to undo the 4 8mm bolts that hold the shaft to the tc, unfortunately my weedy 8mm spanner had no chance, so while I'm waiting for my big 8mm spanner to be delivered,
Thought I'd ask a couple of questions.
Firstly when i get these 4 8mm bolts out by the tc and i presume i undo the bolts on the u joint straps the dif end and then the shaft will come off ?
If it seems that the u joints are ok and theres no play in them can i refit them?
If the centering ball is dry of grease would i get away with cleaning the ball up and giving it a good covering of grease ?
Thanks.
