thud/bang from rear when taking up drive

disco2shaun · Aug 30, 2010

hi everyone,

recentley my defender has started making a banging noise/thud when taking up drive, the noise is definetley comeing from the rear. i changed the rear prop and uj's not so long ago as the slider was siezed solid, fitted new uj's as good practice. When driving and changing gears at speed it dosnt do it, just when setting off. Had a look underneath and a poke around but cant see any problems, cant see it being diff as i fitted a pair of td5 axles off a 54 plate. any help would be much appreciated

thanks
