Title: Nasty noise !
Post by: bobbin on August 07, 2013, 10:00:48 PM

Hi Peeps, Got a nasty noise on me TJ ! When I set off there is loud "crack" from the rear (of the truck that is).Tis definitely a crack and not a clunk ! which is what I would have expected if it was slack in the drivetrain. Any way checked out the prop uj s which are fine,and removed diff cover for a butchers at the innards,just in case any nasty bits of metal was lurking,but looks ok no broken or worn teeth. There's a bit of play when I turn the diff but doesn't seem excessive.  Any ideas of what to look for ? Am I looking in the wrong place ? Doh ! Answers on a postc........any help would be appreciated. :017:
Ps Had to take the WJ to Tong for Jeepey Jamboree just in case the tj broke in the mud :jpshakehead:

Just a shot in the dark... Is it not your brake shoes sticking...Mine does when I use the handbrake, but its more of a clunk..

I thought it was there to exercise your left arm while driving along in autos.
