Well, it doesn't have a big hub nut, like my XJ does. The Ford just has a snap ring and three thrust washers.

No bigass nut on the back, either, so I guess I'm not sure what you're talking about there...

I doubt it's the pinion, I tried engaging the t-case again today and it definitely quieted down. I'd think a pinion bearing would get worse when driven.

I guess I've convinced myself it is the selectable hubs. Maybe I'll swap em left-for-right to check, before I drop the coin on new ones.

Hell, maybe I'll open em back up, and see if I can just change the bearing...

Thanks!

Robert
