My front end felt the same . It wasn't until I removed the front wheel, hub , and spindle til I found my problem. With all of this apart I greased the universal joint in the axle, replaced the spindle bushing, buttoned it all back together and topped off the gear oil and all is well with mine now.
My c-bearing kind moves if I use a bar but I think it is just the rubber part of it moving. I took the front drive shaft off earlier just to see if that was the trouble but it wouldn't. I love my deuce. It is by far my favorite truck I own.
My truck only made the noise when I drove it. I ordered my parts today and I pray this was the only problem. I will let you all know. Let us know if you find out exactly what your trouble is.
I tore down the passenger side and the only bad thing I found was the spindle bushing. It was wore paper thin , mushroomed out , and was breaking off. I'm going to order one in the morning . When I put this back together I hope this does it. Not ever having done it , how hard is it to replace...
As of now it appears to be the passenger side . When I took the hub off there was metal dust and 1 or 2 small metal fragments coming out of the hub. The wheel bearings are fine . How hard is it to replace the axle ?

I strapped my brother under mine and tried that. Drove around a while heard the noise, felt a bump, and came home . I still don't know what the noise is and haven't seen my bro. This weekend I am going to pull the axles and run it up that way and put dad under the truck to listen. I will let you...
I removed my front drive shaft thinking the same thing. This didnt help anything where the noise is concerned. Changing the carrier isn't so bad. After you drop the drive shaft remove the center u joint, take the jam nut off holding the yoke on, then beat the c-bearing off an replace with a new...
The noise in mine also stops when the truck almost comes to a complete stop. It does seem to be coming from the transfer case. I drained the tease quite a bit and refilled with a gallon of Lucas. This made it not do it as much or as loud . When this starts in my truck you have to just about stop...
My truck is making the same noise. It is about to drive me nuts trying to find exactly what it is . I did try the manual shifting just last night while trying to find the problem . Mine still made the noise. The weird thing is it doesn't make the noise consistently or continuously. when this...
