Speedy_Gonzales Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Mainly when putting my foot down or backing off, massive clunking. Seems to come from front prop but it could be rear, could be a driveshaft maybe? Whats the best way to diagnose whether its a prop or driveshaft issue? Could it be anything else? Thanks in advance Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Jamie Remove front prop and check both UJ's on the bench Drive vehicle with centre diff locked Check for noise Replace sound front prop Do the same for rear prop If noise persists then diffs, half shafts, cv's, g'box, t'box Contact ebay and sell vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyNissanPrairie Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 pull the PTO cover off the transfer box and have a look if there's any play between the mainshaft and the input gear. Mines worn and clunks unless your carefull and smooth with the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmannnn Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Find a flat piece of ground. Engine, and handbrake off, put in 2nd/3rd gear, keys out of the ignition. Now get out and push the vehicle backwards and forwards (an assistant would help if you have one). You will be able to track down where the clunk is coming from fairly easily. If you haven't got an assistant you may find it easier on a slight slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy_Gonzales Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Followed the 3rd gear rocking technique above (with pal) and diagnosed this as the rear UJ. Bolts are absolutely stuck fast, wont budge even with the rattle gun, looks like a grinder jobby!!! What UJ do I need for a TD5 110? Mate has a couple bought in error that may fit Will install new UJ and check for any other noises, hopefully just that!!! Ta for the help Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
