21 Gladiator Rubicon


This randomly got much louder and made me thing I had something loose on my suspension. So I checked all my suspension bits and were all torqued properly, ball joints and tie rod ends are still tight. So I wiggled the driveshaft and voila, the noise that has been plaguing me for a month. I put it in 4wd and the noise went away. Could this simply be a FAD issue?

On the Rubicon if it is like the rear, about a 90% chance it is going to be the slop in the E-Locker and that is considered normal.
