hilux drivetrain problem....
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:02 pm
I have had a vibration on the drivetrain in the lux lately (95 diesel).
Replace a couple of bearings in the transfercase about xmas and put new unis on the tailshaft (rear) about 1 month ago. .
Still a slight vibration, but has got worse around 80kms then disappears.
Going to work last week the car seemed to be locking slightly stopping at traffic lights etc and, well, something didnt sound right.
When I turned into my carspace at work something went bang.
I thought it was the diff, so before i left that night, took out the rear tailshaft, locked the hubs in, into high range and drove it home. No noise, no problems, no worries.
I toko out the diff the weekedn, but before I did, I rehecked the tailshaft. There was no slackness or slop when i wiggled it at the diff end.
The crown wheel seems fine, no missing teeth or anything, there is no noise when I spin it at all.
The rear bearings on the axels were replace early last year and there is no nosie out of them at all either....
Any clues guys!
