Wheres the respect,,,,,,,,, kicking a Patrol well I never. lol
Will you be fitting stronger CV's or not required with your style of driving???
Kicking a Patrol lol

I just going with NTN CV's John. The same that came out. Anything stronger is over double in price and I dont have the coin for that.

I think the stronger ones are more suited to running 37" and up Boggers of yore lol
and very high HP, sadly those days are gone withe 33" limit

Not real loose body mounts is it. I was convinced there was something very wrong with the suspension and even replaced the radius arm bushes. When it rained the noise got worse so I whacked some home made rubber washers in the mounts and the noise has gone.

Yeah the bolts were tight but the rubbers were compressed and hard.

Ok. New CV is in. All went well on that part. CV was quite notchy so thats done.
The knocking is still there though.
I got Jonathan to climb under while i kick the front of the rh wheel.
Seems to be coming from where the drop box is. All the bolts in that area are tight.
When i climbed under and had the wife kicking the wheel, if i put my hand on the floor and applied some pressure, not alot, the noise would go away. Se as if i push on the side step.
So i might have to remove the carpet and check the floor for cracks or anything out of the ordinary. Plus ill remove the drop box and inspect it and the mounting area.
Bloody strange this is. I have to crawl over a speed hump so it wont make the noise. Lhs is fine. No noise.
Getting there. Lol.

Its sounding like what I had. I found that a noise was coming from the drop box. The clunk would not happen all the time.
Try banging under the drop box with your hand. I replaced the mushroom bushes and the noise was still there. I found that the front part of the drop box was flexing about two mil or so and hitting the chassis rail.
Hope that helps and makes sense

Does make sense. So how'd you fix it. I really cbf'ed climbing under right now, and even thought to grab the welder out. lol. But then I'd have to get under...
