hilux problem

[dreama]

i thouht i had broken a cv on the weekend but if it were a broken cv it would make noise when in 4x4 when moving slowly and turning side to side wouldnt it

but it only makes noise when i start going faster and there is about 2mm movement in the cardinal joint wich is were i think my noise is coming from

so the noise is there in 4x4 only and not in 2wd
and is the noise there in a straight line or at full steer and is it every now and then or just when under load?

[dreama]

its only in 4wd and it comes with a bit of speed just crawling in first there is nothing even when i turn side to side i tested this driving up a slight slope

soudns similar to my problem and i think mine is the cardin on the fron shaft... mine makes a knockin soudn underload up hill usually in 4wd.... and sum other times! i woudl get ya shaft checked. ive got a fair bit of play in the uni as well pump it full of grease and see if this helps!

regrease all yer uni's aron.

mine makes some horrible noises when coasting along in high range 4wd on dirt roads, everyone keeps telling me it's the uni's because of the driveshaft angles.

Its not the sliding spline in the front drive shaft is it?
When I first bought my wreakage the front drive shaft spline was stuffed(previous owner can't have liked grease on their hands) I'd be in 4wd then there would be a horrible bang then nothing followed by another horrible bang.
Problem sorted....Replaced with box section!!!!! Vibrates at about 60kph, I can cope with that

be careful not to overfill the boots with grease, at high speed the grease heats up expands and bursts the boot - had it happen to me...take care
