ok i just put all new u joints in the cv rear drive shaft , i dont think its coming from the rear-end. but i do think it might be somewhere near my slip yoke , the rear drive shaft has to much play when i turn it counter clock wise. what do u think could be the problem?

thanks , lance

Well when you installed the u joints you would of noticed alot of play in the slip joint i would think. Plus unless the jeep has just been used really hard you dont have enough miles on it to have that worn of a slip joint. I dont understand tho all the play in the rear shaft unless there is a problem with the rearend. It may be worth dropping the cover off the rear end and just having a look??? Sorry wish i could be more help. Curt
