ciderman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 James that is a needle roller bearing that lives in the grease I would wager it isn't that one They should be running in the Swivel oil , Grease may be the problem if it cant get through the small cut outs on the bronze thrust bush , If it cant get through it cant lube the bearing , Thats why I prefer oil in my swivels .

western Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 James , Naturaly I guess the CV`s will be getting a good checking over when your stripping off the stubbs .If it is the cv support bearing thats gone , fit the new one with the Part number visible (facing to the diff ) Sorry dont know the PN .. No doubt Ralph will if this is a front hub bearing try STC4382, Can't see any others that support the CV joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ralph, thank you, is that the needle bearing PN or the bronze bush do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 it's the bearing in the hub that the wheel rotates on, swivel pin housing bearing front & rear stub axle is FTC861 fits inside the stub axle to main axle case joint or is it the swivel upper & lower bearings you want ?????????

ciderman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 There is no bearing in the rear stubs , Its the needle roller bearing that press`s inside the front stub axle , there is an oil seal that goes in first then the bearing , the bronze thrust ring fits on the outer flange of the stub.

ciderman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Roller bearing FTC861 Spot on Ralph I cheated a bit Had a look on Paddocks £4.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 reasonable price & shouldn't be to difficult to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Jase - got the link to Paddocks just after the oil seal mpn now as well........ i thought the bronze thrust bearing was for the older style stubs/cvs or would i need one of those as well? or just bearing as above and seal.

ciderman Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The bronze thrust ring is independent of the bearing on later LA onwards axles , earlier axles had an incorperated phospher bronze thrust and bushing . (Which IMHO is much better ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well ordered the parts today which Exeter 4x4 had in stock and would deliver - what more could you ask fior! any way MPNs in case anyone needs them are: FTC861 - roller bearing as above FTC840 (early 300tdi) and FTC 5268 (VA onwards) - oil seal FTC56 - thrust bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 i hate the bl**dy thing, maybe i should have got a Toyota? anyway changed the roller bearing and seal in the f/n/s hub and changed the panhard bushes Still there it definitely only comes when driving - 20mph plus and turning. its gets worse as the vehicle warms up doesn't do it when stationary with the engine running and turning sounds like something rotating inside something else catching. could it be: diff? UJs? - surely if these it would do it all the time - ie when driving in a straight line. its road speed dependent so i dont think its bushes etc. i dont think its the pads as you still get the noise when braking and turning. none of the bubs are warmer than expected after a drive so i guess that implies external to the hubs? other ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Time to stick it on the wheel free lift,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well If you have checked your CV joints and they are ok , Then the diff may be the next place to look . Try driving it with the front prop off . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 errrr - its stopped making the noise now....... not sure if thats good or bad! the noise started after the last use of diff lock and low range. yesterday was the first time i used diff and low since it started and it has now stopped....... it may have been the bumps that knocked whatever it was back into shape...... cant see that it was the centre diff, there was no windup.

ciderman Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I cant see it being the centre diff , they are usualy quite strong , apart from the cross shafts wearing , im in the process of changing mine for a one piece Ashcroft one . Im thinking that the fault may be in the front diff , As it relates to the noise increasing when steering , If the cross shaft in the front diff is snapped or worn the hole oval its probably been somehow relocated or lodged itself rigid again since you have sent full power to that diff by engaging the diff lock in the T box . Hence the niose stopping . I would strongly recomend removing the front diff for a ruddy good check over . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 90 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ive seen your driving, It wouldn't surprise me if you spend most ya time on the pavement.

JST Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well still not found the old lady, there was an old man there looking for you though Steve that was about it!!! the noise is yet to return. today it was suggested by a LR mechanic that it could have been the central diff. in that it did unlock the last time i used it but not all the components (he named them i cant remember and having never looked at one dont know if this is feasible) came away from the diff which mean't that when i turned the wheel and centre diff started to distr. the power the part rubbed. when i next used low and diff lock and then unlocked it all it all disconnected properly. he said he had come across it once before. me i dont know but it works at the moment.

ciderman Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Or that poor chap who owned the 90 in the car park that you were randomly crawling around underneath checking his bell housing configuration .

Bowie69 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You know James..... I have had the same symptoms (only happening when steering right above 25mph on the gas) since I did the DRD at Wellington.... maybe there is just something about that site? or.... you sneakily swapped axles while I wasn't looking...... as the date is about right according to your post Done the same as you so far, CVs, wheel bearings and swivels all check out OK, I am beginning to think it is diff, will probably pop it out over the weekend... prop off to test first I guess though.... though that of course doesn't rule diff out completely! *sigh* I guess you haven't had it return then?

JST Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 No it hasnt come back, have done 500 miles since then as well, have you tried it in and out of difflock? as soon as i used difflock again the noise stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Viscous coupling........ Only true way out of difflock is prop off, prop on I guess... Probably only my list of things to do tonight now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
