clonk

[scooby]

i have been out in a mates sereis 2 it sounds if the uj have gone or if a mounting has gone but check them all and they seem to be ok any ideas out there wot it may be.

Can you be a bit more specific on what it sounds like

[mud4brains]

could be backlash in the prop (s)

sounds if the prop is lose on the ujs ans clonking around a quit big bang every now and then. as if it sound also like a engine mount lose .

[mud4brains]

i no it sound stupid but it happend to me,, are the springs in good nick coz were old and one of the clips that go round the leafs had opend up and got stuck under the first leaf, every time the axle articulated it would go clonk. try it

Check exhaust mounts - I changed rear prop and diff, then realised mounts were lose and hitting chassis near rear bump stop :oops:

Sounds like a UJ to me, has it been lubricated properly in the past?

Fill it with grease, if its empty to start with though I would be worried about it!

Is the noise happening when you accelerate and decelerate? clunking

yes all done two days ago and no play on ujs

Front or rear?
If front make sure you are out of 4 wheel drive
Then check the items described earlier in the thread, chock the wheels, hand brake off, see how much free play on the diffs, and outputs on the transfer box, also any play in the bearings as well

The most common is backlash in the dif(s)

yep just stuck some new bearings in my back diff. started with humming and when you slowed down to about 10mph it would start to jump along. had to replace rear prop too as that had started to move around after not fixing bearing soon as it started
