It is caused by slack in the driveline. some play is ok. I have about 1/4" radial travel on my flange. replace all of your gearing and it will go away, or you can just not slam it into drive and go for another 100K. relatively normal

Ok, thanks for the advice. So this is relatively normal on older discos. that's good to hear. Thanks.

Cheers.

I have been reading up on the u joint rebuild but do you all think that this is what is causing the strange tick sound it is making?

Then find a shop that can check your truck before you break something. If they find something and give you an estimate, get back to us with that so we can make sure they are not taking advantage of you.
