I have a front diver-side grind and vibration. It starts after the jeep warms up (a few miles) It only happens upon acceleration from a stop. It stops in second gear. I can't reproduce it at high or low speeds after it stops. I have to stop the jeep then then accelerate to reproduce it. Its driving me crazy! I don't want to give up the fight and take it to a professional. I have replaced r/l hubs, ujoints, rotors,calipers, and pads. Its shifts perfect. My last thought was the Axel bearrings....

PS. i have even tried hard acceleration to break whatever it is so i could fix it. no luck

its a 1999 xj
3 inch lift
32 tires
auto trans.

Any other ideas?
