Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday all

After some help on this topic. I have an 85 isuzu county that has noticable play in rear output shaft that can be felt at the handbrake drum (moves up and down couple of mm). The front shaft has no play at all. I have taken off the rear drive shaft and checked the torque on the big nut on the end of the shaft and it was fine. Do I have to reshim the centre diff to remove this play? If so anyone done it before and got some pointers. I recently swapped the high speed transfer case gears and reshimmed the intermediate shaft replacing all of the ?bronze? thrust washers not sure if this is relevant or not.

Thanks in advance need to get this sorted out.

i'd be checking the rear output bearing or the bearing preload on the speedo housing to transfer case,which keeps your centre diff from floating around.

i have the same problem with my lt95 but its the front shaft itd been like it since for ever i will look in to it one day any one elser had the same issue?

Thanks for the replies. I guess next week I will take off the speedo housing and have a look and try to check the centre diff preload tho the method the manual suggests is more than a little confusing javascript:emoticon(':?')
Confused. The play is causing havoc with my handbrake hence the need to fix soon. Anyone else had this problem, if so how did you fix it ?? I hate reshimming jobs as end up randomly buying shims till get one thats right and have to manually try combinations of shims till right preload is achieved, damn time consuming and annoying.

Cheers

the rear on mine is fine just the front . when i reshimed my hi/lo in my transfer i never had to fuck with the center diff just pulled the shaft out a bit shimed it up and adjusted the forks i probly should look at it soonish tho front haft has about a 1/4 inch movement but does not seen to viberate

the play in the front output will just be the bearing,it's a simple job.

so i have to pull the transfer apart
