If this has a chain driven transfer box then it can be the chain has stretched.

they also suffer from movement in the half shaft splines in the hub, landrovers fix is to take it apart and put locktight on the splines. where does it sound like the noise is coming from?

after checking everthing else jack both wheels on passenger side up and rotate back/forth with hands both output flanges on t/box in park to feel backlash in t/box ,viscous internal splines wear too,but will last along time like it and also general wear in castleations on clutch baskets locating grooves etc can lead to knock between d and r
