How do i check prop UJ for wear? Horrible clunk

<< < (3/3)

Boomer:
Two points worth mentioning re UJ's.
When you check for slack in the UJ's make sure the handbrake is off and the car is on level ground, that way it takes the load off the props and any slack is evident. Secondly, don't buy cheap [PooPoo] UJ's at 4 quid each 'cos they only last 10k (bitter experience!), buy GKN's or Hardy Spicer units.
Good luck.

Leigh:
Make sure you have some circlip pliers. Took me ages with a pair of long nose ones  :roll:

ibexman:
you might also check the a-frame ball joint on the rear axle.  well known for causing a clunk on taking up drive.

Will have a look after work tonight!  Someone said you can pull the main shaft out the back of the box to check for wear? This is a bit beyond me :( but I was wondering if this meant that the main shaft was replaceable without taking the box out?  Silly question maybe but worth an ask. ;)

I think that's on the Auto, and only with the T-case off the car.
