Ford 8.8 swap into xj
calvynandhobbs:
Is the emergency brake cable too tight and pulling from side to side with body roll in the corners to where it partly engages around corners? How long has that axle been sitting before you put it in. Could the outer bearings be dry and when pressured in corners causing a clicking? I'm just thinking out loud.
BlacXJeep:
weird, I am hearing a simmilar noise coming from my rear end at low speeds. Its like a popping clicky noise Considering I just did a swap as well, it could be somethiing simmilar. I was thinking maybe it was the new U bolts settling. I'll keep you posted about what I find out.
gearhead1985B:
What type of locker did you put in could that be the clicking noise

Nate, I forgot all about you putting an Aussie in the 8.8 (duh). It's supposed to make that noise when going around corners. If you read any articles about autolockers they will tell you that there is an audible clicking as it ratchets around corners. Aussie is actually supposed to be one of the quieter ones. You may notice the noise subside a little as you drive into the break in period, which I think is 500 miles.

ok i did some searching and realized that it is supposed to make a quite clicking sound and i think my terrified mind make it sound louder than it was bc i drove it around town with the window half way up and the music barely on and never heard it , so i guess that means its good to go. and since that was the only problem i had it was time to pull the front axle, so within 2 hrs i had the front axle out and the lower control mounts tacked onto the new axle ready to take and get fully welded on since my welder blows. So hopefully tommorrow i can have the new front axle in and the new front bumper put on and ready to go to mabell as long as that still going to happening.
