 :( jason

Xtremeteam:
sounds like the nut holding the diff flange on has come loose as this happened to me on the way to a safari & the prop came off & dented the starter,sump n exhaust,also mullered 3 of the nuts /bolts & the seal was severly pregnant as it doesnt seal what so ever now,


to fix  it you need to remove the front prop 7 have a look to see if the nut is loose,if it is tighten it up & refirt the split pin,if its tight then the bearing has prob gone so that will need to be replaced AFAIK its a tapered bearing so shouldnt be to hard to do,never had to change one yet as i run the diffs till they break & if its wapping about thats just another oil leak to worry about  :lol:  :lol:

gecko:
so is it esey to do and why would the stering go all over the place ? and griding

Xtremeteam:
if its grinding i rekon the bearing is gubbed n may require a new diff,if i was closer i could give an acurate diagnosis,

certinally wouldnt recomend driving it till A you get a diagnosis & B get it fixed,

i dunno why your steering would be all over the shop

gecko:
go on then tell me the bad news then how much ?????
