That is exactly the noise and description of what is happening with mine. I think I am going to bring it into the shop....

Its a lift thing. Mine has done it since day 1 lifted. I haven't worried much about it. I fix it by turning the radio up louder!![]()

Well, here is the thing...
My friend's Rodeo with 3" lift on lost a driveshaft while doing about 65mph. The guy in the Mercedes behind him wasn't very happy when his ground effects went to pieces. Sure, he shouldn't have been sitting on the Rodeo's tail for good half an hour or so, but... It took about three years for u-joints to let go, and the Rodeo wasn't driveable for a while.
I helped someone pick up a VX here in Chicago just about a week ago. Mark was flying in form CO to buy it. Clean, stock Ebony. After I test drove it for him, I crawled under the truck. I was interested in front of the shaft especially. I thought that mine being off a bit is due to the lift, but this one looked exactly the same - as the angle was a bit too high or the truck dropped. I was just wandering if this is another of hidden things, like windows regulator.
Here is front of my driveshaft - sorry for the blurry picture but I think that shows what I mean.

I have the same noise. It tends to happen at lower speeds and happens a lot when I turn right. My best guess was a wheel bearing or some kind of wear coming from the brakes? I will check the U-joints tomarrow and see if thats the case.
