Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi scott, I have just recently put RANCHO RS9000 Adjustable's on my NJ LWB, I haven't done a huge of offroading with them but they feel great, much better handling than the OME's which were in there, though they were getting on a bit. They corner great onroad. Still experimenting with the adjustable ...

Hi Andy, That sounds like what it is doing, "partially engaging and disengaging" so you replaced the springs inside the FWH? Ok, will see if I can get some replacement springs, I bought a service kit for the hubs, but they only came with replacement bolts and gaskets. EDIT: I have driven without the ...

Ok, that sounds all good. Will check that CV joint housing when I get it back. Though from memory I think it's ok. I have just been getting my Fuel Inj Pump overhauled and replaced the Injectors as well, gonna chuck it on the dyno and get a bit of a tune up while it's in there, looking forward to ...

Ok, will check that front axle disconnect also. When I disconnected the top of the tie rod and upper ball joint, I was able to move the inner CV joint shaft in and out a few centimetres without much resistance? Does that seem excessive? It felt as though had I taken off the hub carrier assembly I ...

That thing is sik!

Pulled it apart again and got into the where the Brass Ring is, it is there and there was plenty of grease in the housing and it all looked ok. On second look the play is about 1-1.5 mm. I cleaned and repacked it with grease, BUT, the noise is still occuring! However, it is really only doing it when ...

Sounds good mate, I will be pulling it all apart again tomorrow, so would be good if I can set that end play correctly.

Thanks for your help!

Nik.

Hopefully all will be revealed once i get a look in behind the hub carrier assembly, but that does sound fesible.

Yeh, both circlips are in. There seems to be around 5-7mm end play on both sides?!

Cheers,

Nik.

Hi pjb, Yeh I know the one you mean, that is the next step I guess, I have stripped everything down except disconnecting the ball joints. The RHS has plenty of space and I was able to get some grease in there, however, the LHS has less off a gap, I disconnected the Tie Rod which gave me some more ...

Ok, have done that NJV6, there is a little bit of play on each side for the CV and axle? Can't seem to replicate the sound though. If I leave the hubs unlocked but engage 4WD the noise goes away as well!?

Ok will try that, was talking to the guy who did my suspension, he mentioned that there is a brass plate/washer or something in between where the brake rotor is bolted to the 'CV Housing' and apparently this may need greasing? Wish I knew the correct terminology for all this haha!

Tried taking the hubs off, didn't help, I spoke to a guy who mentioned that it might have something to do with the LH drive shaft/axle, perhaps inside the boot where it connects to the diff? He said it might be that the shaft/axle may not be fully out of 4wd or catching somehow? Hence when the hubs ...

Hi NJV6,

Thanks for the reply, yeh it sure is a strange one, the noise/rumble comes and goes so randomly! I will try taking the hubs off and see what happens, thanks mate.

Hi, I am having an issue with my Pajero 1994 GLS LWB. When in unlocked position, I get a chattering/grinding/vibrating sound coming from the axle/tyre/brake area. As soon as I lock the hubs (in 2wd) it goes away. It seems to be coming from the left side only. It is intermittent and seemingly random ...

Hi all, new to the forums! I have a '94 GLS LWB running 15" Steelies and Maxxis Mudder Buckshot 33/12.5/8", mine is jacked up about 2" and have no problems with rub, although on a tight RH lock, the inside of the LH tyre just touches the steering rod/bar, I'm not sure what it is, but no dramas! Hope ...
