Yes, checked them both, no binding, no slack, nothing..I wish i could crawl under it while someone ran it through the gears so i could check it out, but no way im doing that! There has got to be a way to track this down better..like i said, with the driveshaft disconnected from the rear, and then spinning the rear wheels or pinion, there isnt any noise, but we cant spin them that fast either, but after installing the driveshaft and doing the same spinning the rear wheels, i can get under the tailshaft and hear/feel this..
