I've had incidents where it sounds like the u-joints on the drive shaft are clunking. How do I inspect for wear? I went under there and tried to rotate the shaft to see if there's play and there's no side to side play on either front or rear, but at the front where it attaches to the transfer case I can generate some slight upward play at the joint.
I can see bolts where I can detach and remove the shaft and U-joints at the rear, but not at the front. Also was not able to find grease fittings, though I was not working in bright day light and my close vision is bad.
Periodically, I get some jumpiness in the rear on slow 90 degree turns. Had this since I bought the truck. Rear axle is the 14 bolt full floater with 3.73 gears and posi traction. Is this the "Bunny Hop" described in the following thread:
