Good point. The sound went away with the rear driveshaft out. Unfortunatly, I had forgottetn the new CV style had a different bolt pattern (smaller I think) than the standard rear drive shaft configuration where it attaches to the TC. I will have to build up another rear drive shaft (which I need to do anyway for a trail spare). Then I will install it and see.
I rechecked my angles and the center of the rear pumpkin flange points to within 1 inch of the center of the TC flange (1 inch low in fact.) Is that enouhg out to make a difference? The rear drive shaft I had was tight, U-joits seemed good and had grease.
Finally, I am getting a little over 3 inches of total driveshaft travel with 1 inch insertion when expanded. Is an inch enough when expanded? The reason I ask is that the driveshaft I have has only 1.3 inches of comprssion and 2 inches of expansion. I think I need to shorten it ito get the expansion and compreasion the same.
Thanks again for all your help.
