Post subject:  how to tell if its cv or driveshaft.

ok, i just installed my wheel spacers and i love them. but after driving for 5 minutes, i started to hear (and feel) and popping noise. it was pretty consistent with the speed i was going. and my wheel seems to wobble when i drive now. i went under the jeep and played with the driver side cv and it was not making to much noise but the front driveshaft was making a ton of noise. would the front driveshaft cause wheel wobble and a constant pop like a cv would?

It's your intermediate half shaft....
You can also get a remanned CV at Napa for under $80....
Might as well change it too since it's all ready out ( when you change your half shaft )

There was just a thread about the front drive shaft....
Try searching front and drive and shaft...


wheel spacers are PPPPPPPFFFFFFFT!

Travolta out!

well i just drove it a little and i think it might be my wheel bearing but im not sure. front drive shaft out.

So now its down to the CV or wheel bearing...100% sure its coming from driver side and it makes a pop every turn of the wheel. slow or fast. not in reverse tho. and sometimes when my wheel is turned it does not make a sound

Well if it's drivers side.... No half shaft.... scratch that...

Put it on jack stands and spin the wheel....

spun the wheel but i could not get too much noise from it. it was not spinning that easily so im guessing the bearing might be ceasing up

wheel bearing shouldn't POP..... I'd start tearing it apart....

well what would make a POP on every rotation of the tire? just a singular pop/thud sound.

it may sound like it's coming from the drivers side but it's probably not

You have a real problem :ROTFL:
my first guess would intermediate shaft and CV, noise can travel on them

did it do it before you installed the spacers ???

I vote loose lugnuts.... there are many now that those spacers are on there.

i took off the tires (all 4 actually) and tightened them

Then I would take off the front spacers put the tires back on and try it, now its getting interesting

if still doing it back to the intermediate shaft
