For now, since the noise seems to come from the front-as you said before, do just the fronts and drive it.

Ok thanks I’ll try to get that Saturday morning.
Alright... update guys, I didn’t get to do sway bar links because as my luck would have it, it snowed in South Carolina. Anyways what’s chances the cv axel is what’s rattling, when you grab it, you can shake back and forth and it makes a sound kind of similar to what I hear inside? I have a short video of it. But I don’t see anyway to upload here.
That looks normal to me.
It has to have play in and out so it can shift as you turn left and right. It is called end play. As long as the boots are intact and the grease is inside the boots it should be good. The end at the wheel is locked down with the axle nut. The end at the transfer case is held with a cir clip. It has to have some play or it would feel like a seized u-joint.

i have about the same play in mine.
Ok thank you. I did notice yesterday I jacked it up to inspect everything and look again to see if I could find a rattle then when I drove it later there was 0 rattle. After about 4 or 5 miles it started again. So it seems as though when you take the pressure off it “fixes” the problem temporarily.
