Funny noise from diff? axles? driveshaft?

[JG Shields]

Jules, ek moet ook asb iets opmerk.

1. Ek dink jy het teen 560km/h 'n diepsee duiker onder die water raakgery sonder dat jy dit agtergekom het. Dit het te vinnig gebeur. Hy sit nog onder jou kar vas.

2. Ernstig: Ontkoppel jou "diff-lock" en/of jou 4x4 "transfer" behoorlik?

JG , DIFFLOCK NEE HY SUKKEL , maar normale 4x4 geen probleem

Jules' Patrol just wants to play rough. It knows that you can't go back on the black stuff with the diff locked, so now it keeps it engaged .

[JG Shields]

Jules,

Sodra die transfer case bly saam hardloop, al is die kort kierie in 2H, gaan jy dit op die oop pad hoor. Dit kan om verskeie redes gebeur. Lang stories kort...ek het dit gesien gebeur met 'n GQ wat deur 'n slaggat gery het.

Wel...dis 'n gedagte en sekerlik een van vele moontlikhede. Sterkte.

[Jules]

JG ek sal hoop my transfer case hardloop die heeltyd saam, solank hy net disengage wanneer ek dit doen en nie sommer net agterbly as ek hom disengage nie . Ek dink ek sit my lorrie te min in difflock en 4x4 moet meer gereeld doen sodat alles lekka geolie en gegries word

Shalom en dankie vir al die raad sover
Jules

Manne dit smaak my ons moet net onthou ons ry Patrols. As hulle nie gereeld ordentlik off-road ry nie, breek hulle, anders as Landrovers wat breek as jy hulle die dag veld toe vat??

[Jules]

Peter jy het dit nou 100% reg uitgespel, USE YOUR PATROL FOR THE PURPOSE IT WAS BUILD FOR !!!!!!!!!


Shalom
Jules

Darn it. Sorry boet

Have you made sure that the transfer case and hubs are unlocking correctly? If they are I do not think it can be anything driveline-related, since all the turning components in the front axle should then be virtually stationary.

So get into your holy shirt (the one with all the holes in) and crawl underneath and try to turn the front propshaft. On my car with manual hubs, the shaft turns freely if either of the hubs are locked, but not if both are locked. On my buddy Pierre's car, a newer Y61 3lD, the shaft is actually held stationary, but I am not sure whether the widget that does this is in the hubs or in the transfer case. The transfer cases have the same model number, but I am not sure whether that means that they actually are the same, but crawl in underneath and get somebody you trust drive it slowly and check that the propshaft doesn't turn.

Hope that helps?
Peter

If Pierre's Y61 is an SA spec vehicle, it would have automatically locking hubs, so that explains the different behaviours.
