Ok so here we go this may be long basic info first
2013 Jeep JKU sport first time Jeep owner
Mods
2.5 JKU jspec lift
20x12 fuel hostage wheels
35x13.5 r20 nittos
So not to long ago I had the axle seals replaced. Since I have a weird pop / bind in the front. It almost feels like it’s driver side under feet. I feel it mostly in the pedal. I have already replaced ball joints with synergy’s do to a little movement in the balljoints. I also purchased a new front drive shaft from Adams which is now currently off the vehicle while trying to diagnose. The pop/bind is not audible I can only feel it and can only feel it at speeds of 40 and higher and is random. I can not do any one thing to cause it. No pop or noise when turning either. I have torqued all steering components and there is not looseness or popping on anything. When jacked up and I turn the tires by hand I can hear the backlash in the diff and I can also feel an ever so slight movement in the axle I joints. Could the axle I joints be causing this? I would think there would be a audible pop if those were actually going bad. There is a movement / click coming from them when I turn tire by hand back and forth.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. I feel like I am chasing a ghost. I think I am a Jeep hypochondriac.
