The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I had a similar thing happening with my GQ It drove me nuts. It ended up being the front sway bar link one side was stuffed. so I removed the sway bar problem solved.

Check where the radius arms mount, Westys had a similar issue and the bolts were flogged out and the arm was "floating". He did a write on this somewhere here. I have the same issue but its really quiet and haven't bothered to look for it yet.
But check the shocker bushes too, the rear of mine did a loud noise like this and I discovered the bushes were almost non existent. Replaced them and is all good at the rear now.

Actually try this. Remove the sway bar. Come to think of it, mine has not done it since I have removed my sway bar when I did the clutch...I must get around to putting that back in one day.

Hey Benno how did you figure it was the link? was it visibly stuffed/cracked, etc. Pretty sure you can go without the front swaybar in gu's without negative consequences but would love to hear some feedback.

I dont have a Front Sway bar on the GUIV and have not had one fitted for at least 4 years. It is my daily and my Tourer and i simply can not think of a reason for refitting it., I have a 3" lift and Drop boxes though and it is well planted.

The only one reason I can think of is insurance. I cannot afford to run the risk of being denied a claim if I was to ever have a stack and they inspected the car and found no sway bar. Otherwise I would leave it off...
