I know very little about the drivetrains on my disco 1. What sort of services need to be done to the front and rear differential, such as bearings, cv joints, hub greasing etc as routine maintanence @ 60,000 miles. I have replaced all my u-joints and am still getting a sort of moaning noise from the front right wheel at speeds over 70 mph. It is quite loud in the passengers seat, but decreases in volume significanly to the drivers seat. 75,000 miles and NO history of past maintenace. I have done maintenance in just about every area accept this one, and due to having no records, am prepared to do everything needed to get up to speed. Thanks!

 

Have you serviced your swivels and had them adjusted, preload setting?

Nope. What does that entail? Would there be a procedure for it in the service manual?

 

Here is my list for a major at 60K.
