Slack in the driveline?

Hey guys,
Just noticing a bit of slack in the driveline when I back off and accelerate. I know that there is always going to be some slack, but how much? What is the most likely source? Is there a way of measuring this and comparing to standard?
Cheers

I have the same problem and would be interested to find a solution. In my case, I have a reco diff and new clutch fitted in the last 12 months (well I have the receipts and the owner
said that it was done anyway...) so I was thinking that this could not be due to them? Anyway, If anyone does know, it would be interesting to find out.

I do have a small amount of lift (2").
I haven't checked anything yet, but I do intend to grease every nipple I find, except my own!

Serria of Vit??
If it the serria these have a lot of slack through the transfercase+possiable uni joints. Tcase slack is mainly due to the use of 'Thrust washers' a cheaper alternative to the tapered roller bearing. These require correct shims for clearance.

Hey JrZook
How's it going saw you at QE2 last week I was the idiot waving at you from the bike.
Anyway back on subject after my 3" lift I got the noise from my driveline but if you look at the tail shaft angle then you realize why.
Just turn the stereo up a bit more.

if you get noise from the driveline after a lift i would try replacing the unis and they often get used to operating at a certain angle if theyve been in there a while. When you lift it, the angle on the uni changes and bearing load may be in a different area causing noise

Yes that is very correct and I must do that one of these days.
