After finally getting my associates degree in Maryland, I'm back out here in wonderful Colorado. Drove my VW from there to here in 2.5 days, and was looking forward to some wheeling this winter...however, my Bronco is in trouble. At some point over the fall (driven by my family), it developed what I thought was a U-joint squeak. so I replaced the U-joints, and now I have a serious driveline thump, AND the squeak is still there. :mad: Right now I'm this close to getting rid of it because of how much it will probably cost me to find and fix it. If anyone has had this before and can help me figure it out...?

Welcome home Luke! Sounds like they parked it too close to a Jeep. LOL
I'll be home Sunday if you want to bring it over. You can pick up that camping stuff while you are here.

Thanks guys! I actually found the problem...and I feel stupid for not realizing it sooner. The lug nuts had loosened just enough to round out 2 wheel holes on the pass side rear, and a simple tightening fixed it. I need a new rim for that corner, but still cheaper than I was expecting.
Mike, I had totally forgotten about that stuff, but I could definitely use it. I'll give you a call on Sunday and we can figure it out.
