Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi

After my last 4wd trip I have noticed a noise on the rd in 2wd.

If I take off nice and slow I can hear like 3-4 little knocks around the time of the clutch engaging. Sounds like front part of the car. Would it be the clutch or something like a CV?

Its a 1988 GQ SWB

Cheers
Eric

Sures its the front?

Could be the rear drive shaft unis or such are shagged. I know on the lux the centre bearing does it on take off when its gone.

Cool, what would be a good way to problem solve it.

replace the unis..

but find out if thats the prob first..

Gearbox mounts? Dozen other bushes?

Cool, sounds like I need a trip to my mechanic.

Thanks guys

Mine does this and the front radius arm bushes are shagged, Ive not replaced them yet to be certain that this is the cause but I'm 99% certain that this is the problem.

Perfect time to lift it and put castor correction bushes in!!!

Cool I'll check them out too. They will still be under warranty for me.

Im going to check the gear box mounts too.

check to make sure exhaust aint hitting anything, i get a knocking from my exhaust hitting the cross member

Yea I will have to give it a good clean underneath and have a look. Its not a good feeling after a day of 4WDing and you have another new noise.

possibly a body mount loose.. when i fitted body lift had similar noise coming from body mounts after everything had restettled and body mount bolts needed retightening..should do the trick.. is it the same kind of knocking noise u get when u drive ur gq in the rain? this will confirm body mount noise...

Cool I'll check that. I have been getting a few more squeaks lately too.
