my lj has developed a chirping sound in the front. it happens when coasting, braking, and accel (doesn't matter). read some other posts.... possible axle seals or hub bearings? does this sound right? anyone have any info or had this problem before? who can I get to look at?? Thanks jimmy
rotational chirp sound?

Most common spot is the double cardan unit in the front driveshaft. That's the piece near the transfercase with the two ujoints in it... that assembly either needs grease or replacement. The various axle parts don't usually squeak.

Sounded like a canary was stuck under there.....

I believe there's a grease fitting in there that you should be able to get to with a grease gun. Otherwise check out Aaron (astape). He works on vehicles on the side.

google angry sparrows. remove the front driveshaft to see if it is it or not. it was a while back, but when it happened to me i think i just got a new ball centering assembly.

That link shows all grease able parts, but I'd caution against them. Maybe I'm just lazy
but I'd rather replace it in another 5 or so years than grease it every oil change. That's just me, the guy doing the write-up probably knows better -

Unless you run in water or mud frequently good quality sealed parts will last a long time.

If he dident swap out or rebuild the centering ball then you may run into this issue again in the near future. If you do, I would find a driveshaft shop vs a regular mechanic to rebuild for you. I unfortunatly dont have any recomendations but dont go to C&C truck parts in Horsham. They are rip off artists.

Pride in elkton on rt 40 changed the length of my ds. good price, no vibes -
Napa stocks all of it. Just tell them your Jeep info and that you need all 3 ujoints (same joint) and the ball assembly for the front driveshaft.
