I've done that starting with front prop, no change, the rear and the noise ceased. Because of this it's narrowed down to trans box or rear diff. Transfer box was rebuilt by jm a few years ago. The only difference was a noise started directly after a doe test. I resolved this by removing rear...

Went to the recycling centre and back. Still sounds like a tube train from t box or rear diff. Suggestions welcome.

Just read through the whole thread. You doing a great job there and well documented.

As far as the wheels are concerned, are the rims the same width, offset?

So did I, the weight of the engine did it.:D

Looks like I'll have to rebuild my rear diff. Trying to trace the whining noise. Was going to change rear output bearing and flange in the transfer box but bearing seems good . I pulled the new halfshafts and tried turning the diff on its own. Stiff as f#ck and growls although no up down or...

Do you leave them down all the time?

Good to know, thanks again.

I'll do that and if the whine goes, I'll treat myself to a new prop. I can't see any reason why it should wear unless prop put of balance. Refurbished box with only about 10 - 15k.

Anyone had parts from them? Looking to get rear output bearing kit lt230.

That's the one I got. Cheap and simple. Came in handy when the wife's car failed mot on corroded brake pipes. Paid for itself. I also got a bending tool just to satisfy my ocd :)

Cheers mate. Replace flange aswell?

I've narrowed a whine down to either transfer box or rear diff. Took off front prop, difflock engaged, whine still there. Rear prop off and whine disappeared. The next easy step I can see is changing the bearing behind the handbrake drum. Watched a few vids on it and it seems I can do it with...

Was the box centered before connecting to drop arm or linkage. May have different travel lengths between left and right.?

You have Jim aswell? :D

Yes won't it! Not.

Paranoia, I had the same.

That's exactly how my two year rebuild started.

I'd thought of that but would lose floor height. I suppose If i just slide out under a false floor some ply + carpet, I'd only lose 2 inches.

It's swings out with the door. I might be able to fab something that, with an extra hinge, folds up onto the wheel.
