Well I got the jeep home today and test drove it around the block carefully to see whats up. It is noisy sounds more from the transfercase area or transmission area then rear. It does not make any noise at all while I am truning I was doinf circles and it was smooth and no noise??? Tomorrow I will jack it up and have someone put it in gear to see if I can pinpoint where its coming from.

Well I jacked it up today. The pinion has more play then it seems like its supposed too. The brakes are good nothing hanging up there. The drive shaft u-joints seem ok no play. It seems like I was hearing something in the passenger side axle tube like a bearing or something. I could spin the axles freely with my hand nothing sounded like when I drive it. I am still stumped, I will tear it down tomorrow probably.

Unless I am mistaken, on a YJ the rear D35 is a non-C-clip rear axle like 90 & older XJs had. The axle shafts "bolt onto" the rear axle through a bearing inside the drums. I have had that bearing fail before & the shaft/tire go flying down the road past me - NOT FUN.
But, if you've got a lot of play in the pinion then you probably have more problems than that. A little bit of rotational play is fine, but in-out movement is bad. Pull the cover & check for metal shavings, etc, then look around for where your play is at. Check your tcase fluid level, drain & refill. Also drain & refill the tranny's gear oil. Check your u-joints with a screwdriver & if there's any play at all in them, then they're bad. |

I believe 94s have c-clips. This guy is selling a dana35 complete with axles and all for 200 off his tj. I may offer him 150 just for now to get this thing moving around If I upgrade I can always sell it pluss I will have spare parts!

tj has coil spring mounts to deal with cutting off and welding new leaf spring mounts on so that will be a little more work
