P500 Front driveshaft clunking noise

You are literally down the street from me. If you need help, please reach out (As I sit off Tyler BLVD typing)

Ha I’ll need a case !!

so I took the front driveshaft out and checked U joint out , looks ok , no noticeable damage , I then put the driveshaft just on the front pumpkin and I couldn’t get the noise to show itself , then I did the same thing with driveshaft on the motor still couldn’t get the noise to happen , so I put the driveshaft back in and the noise is still there , it seems to only happen under pressure or load , it only happens when I’m in 4x4 as well , any thoughts would be great thanks

It’s a 2017 , out of warranty

Sounds like a good excuse to install a torq locker

I got your pm, but was super busy this weekend working on another machine.
Did you by chance add any grease to the splines when putting the driveshaft back in? Just need a little bit to help take up some of the space on the splines.

What was the end result here? I'm having clunking from that same u- joint in the shaft going from the transmission to the front drive. Also what's a good online parts source since the gov has all of the stores closed.
