loud grating sound down from 70 to 60mph

(1/2) > >>

ken110:
as the title suggests, I've got a really loud grating noise comming from behind the drivers seat underneath.  I've had a look under and gave everything a wiggle.  No play from the handbrake end of the transfer box and no play at the axle. I replaced all the UJ's about 2 months ago. I did notice a bit of movement in the slide joint on the prop but could this make the loud vibration that i'm getting.  I've ordered a new prop to see if it makes any diffrence.  anyone have any other ideas??

cheers
Dave

take one prop off and try it then do the same with the other prop

ken110:
cheers, I thought about that bu then I dont really want to do 70 in diff lock. I know it'll only be driving one prop but you're supposed to avoid high speeds to keep the the little gears in on bit :?

extreme90:
