The spin test doesn't work after a few thousand miles. By that time the defective anti spin clutches are shot and we're over at the "Knock in rear with Dana 44" thread.
Ah... Well I guess I'll find out soon enough, got an appt at the end of the month. I didn't get a chance to read the thread with the Dana 44 knocking yet, but did the dealers just replace the whole axle or what for others?

It's a total cluster. It ranges anywhere from denial and "it's a jeep thing" to replace drive shafts, rebuild the center section or replace the entire axle assembly. Not mention "your aftermarket lift and tires caused it". The current theory is the lsd clutch packs are wearing prematurely and that makes the spider and sides gears ride up to the edge of the teeth causing excess slop and breaking of teeth. It may or may not have been caused by no or incorrect friction modifier from the factory, although there have been reports of clunking on brand new jeeps on the lot.
