Cv is the gubbins inside the swivel. You can sometimes feel if the Cv is dying by rotating the wheel on full lock listening and feeling for notches clicking but not always. That said they are not that hard to strip down.

Right then chaps thats my plan of action sorted.

Tomorow afternoon get the Truck on my mates ramp and realy give the UJs a good examination and change any suspected of wear.

Inspect the swivel joints.Cvs for any signs of wear. strip down and inspect swivel joint gubbins when time available.

Very grateful for you guys taking the time and effort to post a reply. Will keep you updated.

My money is on Mr Coverdale's UJ's.... well, not his UJ's. I don't know him that well  :shocked:

Big G:
Just to update...

Had the truck up on the ramp and found play in the rear prop-shaft UJ`s. Went to my local guys (AMD) at Merrylees and got the GKN ones with nipples for eight pound a piece. Decided to do front as well while we were at it so got four new UJ`s. Pretty straight forward job except for the fine threaded bolts that come out of the transfer box front and rear. Got away with the rear ones but the threads on the front ones were shaggged so we replaced these.

Greased all the joints and splines and took it for a test run ........ sorted.

Just leaves me to say thank you to the boys who took the time and trouble to reply to my request for advice...... Lambert, Mike, and Mr Moneypit. Thank you.
