I have been hearing a 'clicking' noise, emanating from the front of the Jeep, whenever I have it in 4-wheel drive, and turn - either direction. I took it to the dealer this morning, and they informed me I DON'T have a bad CV. I need BOTH axle half-shafts replaced.
Forturnately, It's still under warranty, so it will only cost me the $100 deductible.
Now, the question: I installed a Frankenlift heavy-duty, with the idea of putting an ARB and winch up front. Since I was under constant threat of lay-off, I never ended up buying the bumper. Without the added weight of the bumper, would it REALLY cause enough strain to ruin the CVS in ONLY A YEAR? (I've put just under 15k on it since installing the lift, and have ONLY gone off-road once, strictly forest service road, not hard-core, since I've spent most of the last two-years going back and forth to the hospital).
