New shaft same old noise

Hey
It's been awhile but I'm back. I had posted some time ago about a grinding noise coming from under my 99 AWD when I romp on it. I found I had a bad inner boot drivers side so I replaced the axle. Job went smooth, in and out no problem. Couldn't find any source of the intermittant grinding noise though. Backing off the lift it started making the noise! My brother got underneath the van and found the problem. Play in the idler arm would flex the center link up into the harmonic balancer. Time for some moog parts
