Hi All,
Vehicle is a 'fender with a 3.9v8.
As above (yes, I have searched- please help). Symptoms feel very much like a knackered UJ- LOADS of play in the drivetrain (shunting and clonking) at low throttle load (EG pottering about at 30mph), but I recently replaced both props and all UJs (2 months ago), and I've checked them all and can't find any play.
The gearbox is a recon unit with no wear to the output shaft- it's only covered 4k since I put it in.
The front Halfshafts are pretty recent, not sure about the rears- not had chance to inspect them yet.
The rear diff was fully rebuilt 25k ago (it's a Salisbury)
The transfer box was one I got for about £30, is from a V8 disco.
Vehicle was fine until a couple of weeks ago, when I was doing a lot of greenlaning (including violets lane, although that was the most extreme- the rest were all gentle), and since then clonking and shunting has been getting much worse- today it's almost undriveable.
Heading up to the LR show in a couple of weeks, so really want to have fixed by then so I can go and get my geek on
All help hugely appreciated, as always.
