Rat Monkey Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hi everyone, Have been having a weird vibration under load (going up hill) from my 110 at about 40-50mph. Then started to get a "chirping" noise from the front and a "clunk" when taking up drive but quiet as anything driving along. Have just crawled underneath and found alot of play in front propshaft and it's rear UJ knackered/broken . I need to fix this over the next couple of days as the 110 is my daily drive (typically I have a couple of days off work and have to spend them fixing the truck not using it ) and have a few questions. Is UJ replacement a fairly easy job? Do I need to remove the propshaft or can it be done in situ? Would it be prudent to replace both UJ's or should I jus worry about the broken one? Would I be better to just replace the whole prop? How do I find out which one to order? Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetyduck Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i'm an idiot and i repaced the rear UJs in no time at all. You need a vice to get them back together. Yes you need to remove the Prop Yes repace both with ones with grease nipples pref HD ones. Pretty cheap so no big problem. No need to replace the prop unless its splines are worn. one of the adults will be along with more advice...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Monkey Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Cheers for the info so far, doesn't sound like it should be too much trouble - famous last words! One thing I meant to ask is if I remove the front prop will the truck be driveable without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you engage the centre difflock & avoid hard acceleration, it'll be fine until you get the prop fixed & refitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yes, but you have to select difflock in order for it to be driven. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Monkey Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 is there a huge risk to damaging things driving it like this, will probably be next w/e and 60 miles later when its refitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 only create/cuase more problems if you thrash it mercilessly, be gentle with acceleration & be mindful the front axle isn't driving & adapt accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks 110 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 only create/cuase more problems if you thrash it mercilessly, be gentle with acceleration & be mindful the front axle isn't driving & adapt accordingly. It's worth marking the position of the yoke so it goes back the same and also the sliding joint in case this comes apart. I remember pulling out the sliding joint to inspect it and then realising I hadn't marked it. Suffered with vibrations above 65mph ever since as it had gone out of balance. Eventually cured with a new prop. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychoS Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=7982 Les. Changing an UJ takes only five minutes ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 He didn't clean the yoke before fitting the new U/J Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
