There is a possibility it's the Ujoint caps peaking out and hitting the knuckle,happened to me until it poped out and the joint grenaded.
 
if the tires still grab, id check the tcase for noises too, if it "popped out of 4wd"...
 
I would also lean to the t-case for the issue, you have a 208 (chain driven.) It could hide a problem more than a gear driven one would.
