i forgot to mention that the noise doesnt start until i am at about 15 mph could this still maybe a problem or is it more likely the axle disconnect is broke/damaged -- jumpshooter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- view this thread http//www.carstalk.net/viewtopic-404010.htm send from http//www.carstalk.ne .
