Hey PureCaboose,
I hate to break (no pun intended) this to you but it sounds suspiciously like you have chipped some teeth off your spider gears inside the hemi-sphere!
What you are describing is identical to what happened to my Dana 30 when it destroyed the teeth off a couple of the spider gears in the hemi......
Be very careful driving it as I found that the steering locked up randomly obviously as the broken teeth floated around in the hemi or the broken spider gears didn't mesh properly.
Give me a call to discuss if you like - you have my number
Regards Phil

Had a good look under in the light this morning, nothing looks broken or bent. The chassis mount for the panhard has a little bit of movement when you turn the wheel L-R-L one after the other which I suspect is the issue here. I can't tighten the bolt anymore and it still moves about 4mm.
Any ideas? Am i on the right track with the panhard? I have a 2" lift installed, however there was no issues untill I blew the front passenger axles a few months ago and let Jeep work on my car (warranty repair).
