    Hey yall,

    Ive got the mystery going on and im not sure whats happening.

    When i turn lock to lock driving in 4wd or driving straight and start a hill climb i can hear this noise that sounds under tension from the front end. I can also feel the noise in the gas pedal.
    Its not ujoints or a cv because ive replaced both cv's and both ujoints and i still hear it.

    I remember hearing it a couple years ago and ive never found it.

    Only hear it in 4wd/4low, have heard it y turning in 4wd.

    Its not a constant noise and is sort of hard to reproduce time after time. Itll sound when theres tension on the front end.

    A buddy of mine suggests spider gears?

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you
