Firstly hello all, I have recently bought an old ex-military Landrover90. Although the front grill says defender. I understand Defenders didn't exist until later?
The issue I have is that when pulling away there is a 'thump' from the back end. On getting underneath and twisting the rear propshaft there seems to be a lot of play.
The question is: In your experience is the problem going to be in the rear axle or where it joins the gearbox? There is no play within the joints.
As you can tell I'm new at all this but keen to learn.
Many thanks
Bill
