hi guys my sj has gained this horrible cling cling cling noise when i drive and it doesnt go away in fact it gets worse, its fine when it is running but as soon as you start to move the noise is there i thought it was the transfer box but i replaced that and its still there, when i drive down my road it echos the whole road between the houses and its actually making me want to not drive my sj
could it be a dry propshaft? any ideas please let me know thanks matt

Check all your ujs and wheel bearings. If there is no play in any of them then Sometimes ujs go dry and you'll need to whip the prop off to check.
