Disco 2 Noise from rear when coasting

Another updated, I have just received the wheel-hubs and have began installing them - I have a few questions that I posted here

D2 Rear Wheel-hubs: are Loctite and/or RTV needed when installing a new one?

Or just the single oring that comes with the kit will do just fine? I have just disassembled mine and noticed a lot of old RTV / Silicone in the axle where the hub fits. There was also not any sign of "red loctite" on the splines of the shaft. Also, the wheel-hub kit came with some sort of...

Thanks for the reply - the noise continues even when I press the brakes. But as soon I step on the gas, disappears.

I don't think he had tools to assess backslash up to that precision. There is no noticeable play when moving prop shaft manually (up/down) - nor when turning the wheels (prop shaft does move accordingly), without any play. And he did not find metal or particles (that's what I have been told at least).

Would driving around without the rear prop shaft (and diff lock engaged) help identifying the problem? I read on other forums people do this.

Also: how would you describe this noise? I am having trouble searching for similar problems on other forums / videos.

Transfer box (lt230) output bearing is shagged if the diff pinion shaft bearings are good. Run without the rear prop & see if
the noise has gone.

Remember to put the hand brake drum nuts back on or you'll loose all the bits.
