interestingly I believe this problem presents itself in different ways. My old Xer that my kid is driving now required the replacement around 175k but the only symptom was an audible clink when shifting into reverse.

some folks strip it out completely and are stopped dead in their tracks.
i'm gonna have to do this one eventually on the NEW (2005 lol!) Xer. |
I saw your video...you could also have a really loose xfer case chain as well that contributes to the "click" sound in your clip--but def could be the splines having excessive lash when switching load direction (via D to R).
It's actually fairly EASY to just check. I would remove and inspect the front driveshaft just to see the condition the splines are in.
