Trevor-
I know you've heard about u-joints and wheel bearings in this thread, but
this is also the classic place for spider gears (in the differential) to
make noise
this is, of course, a bigger problem than u-joints
I haven't been an LBC owner long enough to talk about the way to
differentiate half shaft u-joint noises from differential noises in a spit,
I hope the LBC veterans on the list have some advice
good luck
Joe
