I have had a problem since having my disco but Its not really noticeable except when I had a jet ski on a small trailer... there was a bouncy looseness to drivetrain... ( sloppy ) I had already changed all fluids and truck has always shifted nicely occasionally I get a little clunk when touching gas and letting gas off but not always... also a kind of bouncing like a grabbing occasionally with a gravely sound from left.. I'm thinking thats a separate issue like rotor or wheel bearing which Im checking today... but this sloppiness Ive felt has been around for a couple years... most the time its not there but as I have been just reading through I remembered about this and thought id post... Ive been mulling around the idea to change transfer case with one with CDL and upgraded 04 stye shifter... I have an 03 now ... could tho transfer case be worn out?? when I changed fluids it was ok looking gear oil during my 100k major service... my disco just turned 100k

BTW driveshaft was first thing I did 2 years ago with high quality HD Ujoints... but the original one seemed good too but did upgrade anyway to make sure...
is there a sure fire way to test transfer case? and or differentials?

 

Ok... Ive checked front end... Im not a 4x4 specialist yet or truck expert so here is what ive found... With front end lifted up there is no gravely sounds or roughness like a bad bearing... No wiggle side by side or grinding rotors... Now here is what i DID find... When spinning the wheel and stopping quickly... There is a ton of slop before the drive shaft stops spinning... This seems really sloppy in the front differential... How much is normal? Its really sloppy... Maybe this is why im getting the bouncy looseness feeling? And even more if pulling anything ... The slop is up front not at transfer case... Btw i was surprised how easy the wheels spin...

 

all full-time 4 wds have slop in the drivetrians, can you post a video?

 

ok Ill make one today later once Im back home...
