I'm driving a 2000 Silverado 1500 4WD. A couple weeks ago I began to notice a vibration and a thumping noise coming from somewhere below the drivers feet. Last saturday I crawled under to inspect, and found play in the front driveshaft forward U-joint and some play at the rear of the shaft near the transfer case. I pulled the shaft and drove to the auto parts store to get a new chevy parts U-joint. The vibration and thumping were gone. I installed the new u-joint and took a test drive. The vibration is gone, but at different times, different speeds, staight or turning, I can hear and feel a pretty heavy thumping. It comes and goes. Sometimes I can just barely hear/feel it...sometimes I swear something is about to snap and the front wheel head off in a different direction.
So does this sound like a Chevy CV joint failure or something else? and does the slight play in the rear of the forward drive shaft indicate the seals in the transfer case are failing?
any advice or insight is much appreciated.
