Where to start

Hi, my 110 TD5 2001, had a a-ball joint problem which I solved. (Clonk Nr 1) gone.

Now I have a different clonk I dont know if its the haftshafts, flanges or even the diff that has play. Is there anyway to troubleshoot this without ramdomly changeing parts.

thanks

First place to start is the transfer box input gear, but as yours is a later car it might already have the cross drilled type fitted.
This is if the clonk sounds like its coming up from under the centre seat?

Lynall,

thanks, I would locate it more in the back of the truck, but I cannot exclude the transfer case. It definitely doesnt like doing 100km/h 105 fine, 95 fine. 100.... abit weird.

but if I get one rear wheel off the ground how much play should the wheel turning? And if i get both back wheels off the ground how much should they be free from each other if you know what I mean.

I'd go for either A Frame or more likely rear prop UJ

Just popped it out of gear and there a fair bit of play both ways in the front dif and in the transfer box... about 1 inch each way feels really loose... thanks for your help by the way... the play seems to be in the dif and transfer box ujs seem solid....
