(21 JTR) Was wheeling today with 33 others at McLean Creek just west of Calgary. Absolutely awesome experience and tons of puddles and deep water to go through. Was a great bunch of people to wheel with …and yes, that is a Subaru that did everything and went everywhere we all did!

After getting home and cleaning up I rolled around under the truck and turning the front shaft back and forth I get this clanking noise. Is this normal??

Mine does the same thing. I would consider it normal.

Put it in 4hi or lo….the FAD will engage and lock up the axle. You should have minimal play now. It was basically coasting.
