Samj Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Good evening My landrover 90 has developed a noise at speeds of about 55mph+ .Coasting or on overrun it sounds like the noise is is comming from the rear end ive removed the pannel from the seat box above the transfer box and taken it for a run. It doesnt sound like its from the transfer box/ gearbox area. The wheel bearings feel ok with no play or rumble when jacked up. The noise is almost the sort of noise that an exhaust would make against the chassis(but it isnt). So i think it could be rear prop or diff. Has any one experienced anything like this before??? Can i remove rear prop and take for a run to rule out rear propshaft ?? Any advice would me much appreciated The landy has a 2" lift Many thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 is there oil in the diff ? yes you can remove the rear prop completly & drive with difflock engaged so you have front wheel drive, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samj Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes changed all oils i have spare halfshafts but im sure changing these would make no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddychris300tdi Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah check your prop joints first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samj Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Ive run the landy without the rear prop and the noise had dissaperd. I checked play in the ujs whilst i had it off there appears to be no exsesive wear just a tiny bit of play could this cause a noise like this? I also checked transferbox and diff for playand all apears to be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Check the play in the drive flange bearing in the rear diff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai_landrover Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Checking uj's the splined section of the propshaft, the output flange on the transfer box and diff flange for movement wear. A pinion flange on the diff with even very little sideways movement can cause no end of issues when engaging the crown wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
