allright 2001 disco when im on the highway and let off the gas to coast then get back on the gas theres a clunk not sure what to check i was thinking check the front u joints and check tranny fluid and front and center dif its definatly coming from the middle or front of the vehicle thanksss :confused:
 
doubt its a ball joint no weird sounds over bumps or anything just when i get off and back on im hoping just a universal joint hopefully not the splines or the backlash in the center diff that would extremely suck. im installing a lift on sunday so i will check the uni joints and play in the driveshafts how can i check the backlash without taking it apart and using a feeler gauge?

I doubt is as well..u an't got one :)
 
Mine has the same and was changing the handbrake cable today and found loose prop bolts so thought result, then greased uj's and found rear diff has so much slop in it that's why I'm on here to find out what to do about it. Hope it's obvious when you re underneath
 
Dam i hope its not my rear but id rather that instead of my center diff id say open it up and see how badly its worn maybe you can adjust the lash
 
allright installed the lift today couldnt find any play in the u joints and i wasnt sure how to check the diff without opening it up but it seems like the front is leaking out of the spot where the driveshaft goes into it maybe its low on diff fluid and it wore out? idk i spun the wheels it feels like a normal diff but i didnt really know what to look for. any ideas?
