Theres a intermediate noise that keeps happening, sometimes its worse than other days. Sometimes its just a scraping and sometimes its that scrape with popping and rattling. Im starting to suspect my brakes, but have been working crazy hours. No issue with stopping or anything else that i can see or feel. Has anyone else experienced a similar sound to this? Any insight helps, wont have a whole lot of time to diagnose and fix her up. Thanks brothers

 

id say its a dry u-joint

 

Do you think i can flush and grease her up or is it more than likely shot? Looked up some videos, sounds like thats definitely the problem.

 

If you are going to go to the trouble of pulling it apart, just replace it. Don't wanna have to do the job twice.

 

If it has the grease fittings go ahead an shoot some in an see if it changes it. Easy to do.
They can be a pain to replace...

Sounds to me like its multiple scrapes in each full turn of wheel ,at same spot.Maybe at brakes..It has that "low- high /low-high -pitch sound" like 2 seperate points of contact..Turn each wheel in the air with no pressure an see if it changes as tire turns.

 

Thanks fellas, ill be able to dig in to her tomorrow AM, ill post back what my findings are. Thanks again for the insight

 

I wanna say the brake shields might be bent and touching something, but yeah.... rotating the tires in the air would be my first thing to do. Also, if it does it going that slow, I'd have someone doing slow circles in a parking lot (or a bumpy field) at full lock, while I walk and observe. Might only make noise while suspension is loaded.

 

Heres a better video. Wasnt the brakes.

 

Anybody have tips on how to remove the 4 flange bolts? Been soaking for about 2 days, breaker bar,and impact and pneumatic all could not break them loose, even applied heat.

 

Which 4 bolts where?
