Long time lurker here and I've read alot of helpful posts on here, but nothing that quite matches what I'm having trouble with. I have a 07 limited with 110,000 miles on it. About the past year or so, there has been a clicking sound from the front driver side at low speed (10-20 mph) that disappears as I get above that speed. Also, when I turn off ESP and play a little in the snow, the mid section sounds like clanging (like a spring in a metal tube) really loud only when I'm turning left or right. When I'm going straight and spin the tires in the snow, I don't hear it. It also feels like it's trying to lock the left front wheel in as well, but I can't confirm, since it actually doesn't kick it in, but that;s what it feels like. Kind of a stuttering in the front left side, like when you have it in 4wd on dry pavement. Last week I got under it and seen that the front drive shaft was missing the boot on the rear of it and I started to disassemble it and the transfer case oil started leaking out from the bolt holes. I'm confused since everywhere that I've read said that no oil should leak out. I had a 03 wrangler and took out the shaft all summer and never had oil leak. A couple of things to add, I don't ever use 4w part time, also don't use 4wd full hardly ever and have only ever been in lo when pulling one person out of a ditch. I'm confused since most people who say they have these problems with the front end say they use the 4w part time alot. Thanks in advance and sorry if I left any important details out.
