Are the U-joints in good shape?  The most common cause for the banging is U-joints, but it could also be the unit bearings or the gears.  With the front end up on Jacks, can you turn the wheel and hear anything?

yeah that would cost a bit tho. but im sure sometime i will. the scrap i got mine at is pretty nice. its called bills auto in tolland i believe. they let me see the 2 jeeps with the 373's and u-joint shafts. found one in a 4.0l zj in good shape. only cost 250 and they gave me the stock springs'shocks'tierod'draglink'tracbar'control arms. good to sell but im scrapppin lol by buddy marc needed the trac bar tho cause we had to cut his off when we lifted it. we all did a flatrock run out in plainfield yesterday it was fun
