75 series ratchet sound from front diff

Post by Cyrel »

Hi a mate of mine has a 75 ute and it has a sound like a spline slipping when under load in 4WD. My idea is that he has a split inner on the CV which is causing this. All oils in the drive train have been checked and are fine, the outer splines onto the hubs are ok and the front slip shaft is good. Any ideas would be good.
Cheers

The sound should normally worsen when he turns the vehicle in 4WD if it's a CV, could also be pinion/crown wheel too.

Cheers
