Klunk Klunk Judder "BANG"

Hi all.

I have been slowly doing up my 1987 110 and after being away for about 6 months I took the old girl out for a run around the block the other day after about a quarter of a mile I felt and heard a Klunk klunk,judder judder so I went straight back to the house with it still Klunking/juddering but 50 meters from the driveway I heard and felt a loud bank from underneath the chassis. I jacked her up, both rear wheels off the ground, wheels off, pulled out and changed the bearings and seals, the half shafts seem to be in good working order, took the rear diff or end drive unit cover off after draining the oil, no bits in the oil, Put it back together and drove down the end of the drive 25 meters all good but then at the end the juddering started again I'm not sure where to go now. The prop shafts could do with changing and I am happy to do this, but after watching numerous you tube videos I'm thinking that it might be the differential or planetary gears. Any thoughts or ideas would be great or any tips on how to figure out before I open up a job I might not be able to complete.

The u/js on the props can make some horrible noises if they're close to parting company.

If you know they need changing anyway you might as well do it.

Check you're not stuck in diff lock

UJs?

Sorry Blue Beasty, didn't spot your post!

UJs do make an awful sound when they've finally had it! If they've been left for a while to seize up then it would make sense!

Propshaft universal joints.

Hahaha!

You could remove the prop and drive in diff lock to eliminate prop noise.

A sticky hand brake will make um complain anorl

Your not in diff lock are you?

I've had problems with my 110 doing the same, just figured it out today......overadjusted hand brake drum, with a tight spot, I thought my axle was going to fall off. As above have said, tight or very loose UJs or even sticky brakes could cause juddering, or diff lock.

Thanks guys, I have ordered new prop shafts and should arrive this week, I know what i'm doing on the weekend.. Thanks once again. :0
