So,
For the last few months(on and mostly off!) i ve been chasing some slack in my drivetrain.
Ive isolated it to the front.
About a year(600miles) ago i had the front nearside stub axle replaced. Instantly there was no slack. I replaced the off side one myself only a few months ago and the splines were not worn.
Problem solved i thought.
Or not, i can feel slack again!
My thought process was this; This morning i applied the handbrake, and put it into 1st. i then tried to move the front prop shaft. Im getting a good quarter turn of slack, both the t/box output and the diff are moving.
Where do i go from here? should there be movement from the t/box output when 1st gear is engaged?
