I have a 4x4 so the front driveshaft from transfer case to front dif, I uploaded a pic and circled where there is movement, I’m just curious if there is a bearing in there, that is bad, I’m getting some roaring noise above 20 mph, sounds like it’s coming from front of truck, I rotated tires thinking that was it, no change, I put in all new spider gears and bearing in front diff, new intermediate shafts, and cv shafts, no change. I also replaced both front wheel hub bearing. So I’m looking at the driveshaft.

That is like a CV joint. Take it off and see if the sounds goes away. I know I had one go bad on my 2012 Durango. The rear one and was on a camping trip. they were back ordered for 3 months.
