Sup,

My little bro did something to his front diff last weekend up at cruiser and just wondering if anyone could recommend a place (preferably in north brissy) to get it checked out. Any advice or recommendations would be awesome.

Cheers
Scotty

When he puts it in 4wd it clicks when he drives. every 3 - 4 sec. won't do it in 2wd tho. Any thoughts?

Put it in 4wd, turn full lock either way, then drive forwards. If it clicks its the outer side. If it dont, turn the wheel the other way, and drive forwards.

Outer side = Outside of the turning circle......

What type of car, It does sound like a cv.
Go & see Mike at On & Off road Mechanical if you dont know how to fix it yourself, I have No but left it at work look up Ph book or Pm me if interested. He is at Brendale.

maybe a dumb question - but this clicks when going in a straight line, thats why i was thinkg it may be the diff and not the cv....

If its clicking when going straight ahead sounds like it may be ring and pinion damage.
