been getting a tink-tink noise coming from the under carriage of my cruiser for a while now and can't seem to find what it is, it happens when i take off or sometimes just when i accelerate, it doesn't sound like a missing gear anywhere in the system and the gearbox, centre diff and front and rear diff feel perfect while driving. I've had the wheels off all round looking at the brakes as i thought it might just be a rock but it was all clear, any ideas on what this noise could be???

Yeah my uni joints do this also i dont think its such a big deal i would change them though if they have radial movment or when greased the grease does not exit all four trunions, cy mate

could be your tranfer case on its way out maybe a uni but if u really wanna see if its a uni get a person to walk next to the car while u drive and they can see where it comes from or jack it up completely so all 4 wheels are off the ground and put it in 4x4 so the front wheels spin and listen to where the noise is comming from then if u have problems pm me ill try help u out
