Hey.
So here goes the story, i bought a MJ Triton fairly cheap, its a 2.5 Turbo diesel all seemed great till i tried climbing a hill.. As soon as u load up the engine a dull clunking noise comes from underneath the body!. i knw for sure that it is not the C.V's as i can load em up nd they make no noise. Front diff has been apart nd that is all ok, I have also replaced both gearbox mounts? It sounds serious, nd only happins in 4wd. It is also very random, sometimes quick sometimes slow?!.. Was wondering if anyone had experianced this before? Cheers
