Possible front differential trouble...help
 

Hey there fellars ...need some advice on this issue im having..got a clicking noise coming from directly under my feet and feel it in pedals and steering wheel when I drive. I got under it and inspected the front axle shaft area for loose hardware and only noticed when grabbed (what I think is front small shaft going from transfer case to back of front differential )and that I could wiggle it a bit to the left and right a bit(is that normal?) Because it would rule out that problem but I did notice passenger side u joint wiggle a bit when doing so...think that's the culprit? Also,drivers side axle shaft looks like its wet from a leak..if its seal will I have to remove the whole side Just to get to it or is there an easier way to replace it? Thanks all for help with this issue.:argh:

Update on differential sitch ...changed axle seals ,u joint passenger side and hub assembly passenger side and still got clunking in pedals ....now im thinking steering column ...anyone have any experience with this fn headache lol:argh:???
